Dog Sterilisation
Sterilising your dog helps reduce the number of unwanted dogs in the community. It can also prevent undesirable behaviours linked to the heat cycle and reduce the impact on other dogs in the area.
There are health and behavioural benefits to sterilisation, and owners also receive a discount on dog registration fees.
For more information, speak to your local vet about sterilisation.
