Dogs can be neutered just before the first heat or three months after each heat. That they first need to have a nest of puppies is a fable.

The advantage of spaying is that the bitch does not get in heat again and that there is no more blood loss in the house. Moreover, the probability of developing uterine tumours, ovary tumours and mammary gland tumours diminishes considerably.

These tumours namely develop influenced by hormones like the hormonal shot, which is certainly not advisable.

For this operation your dog needs to come in sober. It is then put out with a super safe gas anaesthetic and the ovaries, and in some cases the uterus, are removed.

Dogs hardly suffer from it and can mostly return home with their owner the same day. The threads do not have to be removed with our method since we stitch intradermally with degradable thread.

A big advantage of having your female dog spayed at a very early age is that the probability of developing a uterus infection is eliminated. The risk of it increases from the age of six years in all bitches that have not been spayed, with a risky operation and a long healing period as an aftermath.
