Dogs + Reproductive Care

  • Prevention of Oestrus and Birth Control in the Bitch

    Speying involves the removal of the womb and ovaries. It is permanent and irreversible.

  • Pyometra

    In its simplest terms, pyometra is an infection in the uterus. However, most cases of pyometra are much more difficult to manage than a routine infection.

  • Spaying or Neutering

    Spaying should always be considered if you are keeping your bitch merely as a pet. It has many advantages and few disadvantages.

  • Transmissible Venereal Tumour

    This is a common tumour, only found in dogs. It has a patchy world-wide distribution including parts of the Caribbean, USA, Southern Europe, Asia and Africa.
