Are you considering dog desexing in Inner West? Ensuring your pet is desexed is one of the most responsible decisions you can make as a pet owner. Desexing not only prevents unwanted litters but also offers significant health and behavioural benefits for your dog.
At Drummoyne Veterinary Hospital, we specialise in safe, professional, and compassionate desexing procedures for dogs of all breeds and sizes. Our expert veterinary team ensures a stress-free experience for pets and owners, providing top-quality care from pre-surgery consultation to post-operative recovery.
When Should You Desex Your Dog?
​
-
Male Dogs: Recommended at 6-12 months, depending on breed and size.
-
Female Dogs: Ideally before their first heat cycle (5-6 months) to prevent health risks.
-
Some large breeds may benefit from delayed desexing, which we assess on a case-by-case basis. We recommend delaying desexing until 12-15 months of age in the larger breed dogs.
If you're unsure about the best time to desex your dog, our vets will guide you based on your pet’s breed, health, and lifestyle.

Common Questions About Dog Desexing
1. Will my dog’s personality change?
No, desexing does not alter your dog’s core personality. However, it can reduce undesirable behaviours like aggression and marking.
2. Is desexing painful for my pet?
​
Whilst any surgical procedure can cause discomfort, the procedure is performed under general anaesthesia, and we use pain relief medication to keep your pet as comfortable as possible.
3. How long does recovery take?
Most dogs recover within 10-14 days. They may need restricted activity for a few days and should avoid licking the surgical site.
