FAQ'S About Pet Surgery

This depends on the procedure, but usually, 20 minutes is our standard admission time.
Absolutely! We support anything that makes their experience better for them.

This needs to be checked with your vet, but it is important that we know what medication your pet is receiving and when the last dose was

Yes. We need to clip your pet’s hair around the surgical site to perform sterile or aseptic procedures.

No, a spey or castration is not reversible. Unfortunately, they are permanent procedures.
Desexing will alter your pet’s hormonal status, most notably in males, with the removal of testosterone. This will reduce or stop hormone-driven behaviours (which are often undesirable, such as aggression, territorial guarding, and urine marking) but generally not your pet’s personality.
No, unless there are medical reasons not to, we can desex your pet at any age. With females, we need to ideally time this with their cycle to operate during the optimal time rather than whilst they are on heat.
No, desexing is a routine day procedure.
