🌱 WHY DESEX BEFORE SPRING? 🐾

As spring approaches, many undesexed pets become more likely to roam in search of a mate.

Roaming pets face higher risks of:
✅ Fights with other animals
✅ Injuries from roads and other hazards
✅ Not returning home

Desexing before spring can help reduce roaming and mating behaviours while providing a range of health and behavioural benefits for many pets.

Every pet is different, so it's always best to speak with a veterinarian about the right timing for your pet.

📅 National Desexing Month is coming up in July, and participating clinics are already taking bookings.

📊 More than 500 pet owners have already registered to take part in National Desexing Month, so don't leave your booking until the last minute.

🐾 Desexing MYTH #3
"Desexing will change my pet's personality."

Your pet's unique personality doesn't disappear after desexing. They'll still be the same loving, playful, quirky companion you know and love.

Desexing may reduce some hormone-driven behaviours such as roaming, fighting, mounting, or urine marking, while helping prevent unplanned litters.

Every pet is different, so it's always best to speak with your veterinarian about the right timing for your pet.

📅 National Desexing Month starts July 1.
