Sterilisation

Dog sterilisation is a sustainable birth control method that effectively reduces the stray dog population. It also helps prevent the spread of sexually transmitted diseases and reduces undesirable hormone-related behaviours, such as fighting or territorial marking.

Our sterilisation services are available for both male and female dogs. Dogs should be at least 6 months old and in good health. The process begins when the dog is admitted to our centre, where our veterinarians carry out the surgery and provide close post-operative care to ensure a safe and smooth recovery.

Sterilisation Process

  1. Registration: Inquire and register for dog sterilisation by calling 090 320 7317.
  2. Appointment: Our staff will contact you one working day in advance to confirm the appointment and provide pre-surgery guidelines, such as fasting and basic health checks. The dog must be healthy, not in season, and not pregnant.
  3. Safe Confinement: The applicant must secure the dog in a safe, fenced area to assist our staff with the pick-up and drop-off process.
  4. Transportation: Our team can provide a pick-up service from your location, or you may choose to bring the dog to our centre yourself.
  5. Surgery: The sterilisation procedure is carried out by qualified veterinarians at our dedicated animal clinic.
  6. Returning Home: We will return the dog to your home or you may pick them up, along with essential post-operative care instructions, including medication, the use of E-collars, and wound care.

Benefits of Sterilisation

  • 1. Improved health and longer lifespan: Sterilisation significantly reduces the risk of serious health conditions, including mammary cancer, uterine infections (pyometra), and prostate cancer. It also helps prevent the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases, such as Transmissible Venereal Tumour (TVT).
  • 2. Reduction of hormone-driven behaviours: Sterilisation helps minimise aggressive behaviour, territorial disputes, and roaming or escaping from home in search of a mate.
  • 3. Ending the Cycle of Stray Dogs: Sterilisation addresses the root cause of overpopulation by effectively controlling stray dog numbers and improving overall animal welfare and quality of life.
  • 4. Creation of a healthier community environment: Effective population control contributes to cleaner, safer, and more orderly communities by reducing noise pollution from barking and howling, as well as minimising sanitation issues related to waste and territorial marking.
