Neutering

 

Did you know that neutering has lots of benefits for all species of animal?

We’ve teamed up with the University of Glasgow to offer a cut-price neutering programme for pet owners.

In order to maintain the viability of the neutering service we offer we are increasing our fees as of 1st October 2022.

These still represent a considerable saving compared with prices charged in Veterinary Practices around the country and help us to offer you and your animals a safe and effective service.

The fees are now:

  • £150 for a female dog 
  • £120 for a male dog
  • £40 for a male cat
  • £50 for a female cat.

Anyone who has made a booking prior to 1st October will pay the original prices quoted.

Please note: We have currently closed off the waiting list for female dogs, as we have been inundated and it will take us some time to get through the list we already have.

 

What are the benefits of neutering? 

There’s a whole host of benefits to neutering your animal, including:

  • Helping with temperament, especially in males
  • Stops females coming in to season
  • Eliminates risk of unwanted litters
  • Avoids any complications from pregnancies 
  • Lessens the risk of diseases related to reproduction 
  • Reduces the number of strays

 

What does it involve?

The neutering procedure will be carried out by University of Glasgow final year Veterinary Medicine students with supervision by a fully qualified vet.

The surgery will take place on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday at the Glasgow ARRC Veterinary Clinic.

Address: Veterinary Clinic, Glasgow ARRC, 125 Kinnell Avenue, Cardonald, G52 3RY

 

Who is eligible?

With the easing of restrictions we are now able to offer a limited number of female dog spay appointments each week, in addition to male and female cats and male dogs. Due to housing we are only able to accommodate male and female dogs of under 25kgs.

The scheme is open to those living in the G1-G82 areas of Glasgow and for those in Paisley in the PA1-PA8 postcode districts.

 

How do I apply?

You can apply by phoning 0141 530 3741.

 

What do I need to know?

There are some mandatory requirements for your animal going into surgery, such as withholding food for 12 hours before the operation.  You can find all of this information in our terms and conditions.
