Desexing

Harbourside Vet Care routinely performs desexing procedures for dogs, cats and rabbits. Appointments are required for this surgical procedure which is performed Monday to Friday. Desexing is an effective way to prevent unwanted pregnancies, health issues and help reduce behavioral problems.


We generally recommend desexing dogs and cats at 6 months of age, as young animals are more likely to recover quickly from the anaesthetic. We may recommend some dog breeds to be desexed later than 6 months, however this will be discussed in a consultation with a Vet.


Desexing surgery is a day procedure and all pets are admitted in the morning discharged from the hospital with pain relief in the afternoon.


If your pet is not microchipped, we can arrange this at the same time and assist you with the paperwork required for registering your pet with local council.
