Desexing Overview

A responsible step for
your pet’s wellbeing

Desexing (spaying or neutering) is one of the most common veterinary procedures. It helps reduce the risk of certain health conditions, limits behavioural issues and contributes to responsible pet ownership.

Desexing Practice Details

What you can expect on surgery day

Fear-free care starts before your pet even arrives. From the moment you book an appointment, we provide advice on travel and arrival, and our team is trained to recognise signs of fear and respond with kindness, patience and calm.

Pre-surgery assessment

We use species-specific pheromone diffusers in our clinic to help pets feel more at ease. These natural, scentless signals mimic what animals use to feel safe in their environment, helping create a more settled space.

Safe and monitored procedure

Our team is trained in low-stress, gentle handling that respects your pet’s boundaries. We avoid force or restraint wherever possible and work at your pet’s pace to make each interaction feel safe and positive.

Gentle recovery support

We’ve created a calm, quiet environment with separate waiting areas for cats and dogs to minimise noise and smells that can cause anxiety. Soft lighting, soothing sounds and slow, mindful movement are all part of our clinic.

Desexing Benefits

Benefits for pets

Fear-free care helps pets feel safer and more confident during visits. It leads to better cooperation, easier exams, and stronger long-term health outcomes, because pets aren’t as frightened or resistant to regular care.

Lower risk of cancers

By lowering fear levels, pets experience less physical stress—like raised heart rates or shaking—which can otherwise impact their health. This means quicker recovery, more accurate diagnostics and better overall wellbeing.

Calmer behaviour

When pets aren’t anxious, they’re more receptive to treatment and routine care. This improves their quality of life and allows us to monitor their health more closely and effectively.

Less stress during heat

Creating a positive experience means your pet is less likely to associate vet visits with fear. Over time, they become more relaxed and cooperative—making future visits smoother and less traumatic for everyone involved.

Desexing Benefits

Benefits for owners

Fear-free practices don’t just help pets—they make the whole experience better for you too. We know how hard it is to see your pet anxious, and we’re here to help reduce that worry.

No surprise litters

Knowing your pet is being handled with care, compassion and respect gives you confidence in every visit. We treat them as if they were our own and always communicate openly with you throughout.

Fewer vet bills later

With less resistance and stress, visits are quicker, calmer and often require fewer medications or interventions. Many of our clients notice a big difference in how their pets behave when they return.

Quicker recovery

When you choose fear-free care, you’re strengthening the trust between you and your pet. By reducing fear and making the vet feel like a safe space, your relationship grows with even more comfort and understanding.
