How much does it cost to spay a dog

One of the most popular questions from owners to administrators of our clinic is why such a price for dog sterilization and what does it include. It is important to understand that the cost includes not only the operation itself, but also:

• preliminary examination of the animal and consultation with a doctor (sometimes several specialists);
• analyzes and examinations (ultrasound, ECG, etc.) if necessary;
• prevention of pain and preparation for anesthesia;
• introduction to anesthesia and continuous monitoring of the condition throughout the operation;
• the work of the surgeon, assistants, anesthesiologist;
• medicines and consumables;
• professional care on the day of the procedure and monitoring of the postoperative condition;
• removal of sutures (if required).

Remember, well-performed sterilization of bitches is the absence of unforeseen situations, the guarantee of their long and healthy life without pain and disease.

Operation methods

Sterilization of an adult dog in general can be done in several ways:

• surgical - all reproductive organs are removed from the animal or the fallopian tubes are tied;
• chemical - the so-called chemical sterilization of a dog is an injection of special preparations or subcutaneous fixation of an implant with a contraceptive for the gradual release into the blood of a special substance that has a depressing effect on reproductive function. Due to significant health risks, medical sterilization is used only as a temporary measure.

Methods of surgical intervention are:

• open (laparotomy) - the classic option, which involves dissection of the abdominal wall;
• closed (laparoscopy) - sterilization of the bitch through an incision (puncture) with a diameter of 3-10 mm and a length of 5-10 mm. Due to the absence of contact between the internal organs and the environment, the risk of postoperative complications is significantly reduced.

In the Zoolux clinic, laparoscopic sterilization of a large dog is performed on high-tech equipment by experienced specialists. The operation is possible even with an inflamed uterus. In general, the laparoscopic method allows not only to partially or completely remove the reproductive organs, but also to assess the condition of the abdominal cavity from the inside. Regarding the age of the animal, it all depends on the breed, and the veterinarian, after consultation, will suggest the best solution for your case. If the breed cannot be operated on before estrus, then neutering small, medium or large dogs after the first estrus (6-8 months) is considered optimal, but may be performed later.
