Stray and lost dog service

Neutering and spaying is not just about controlling pet numbers, as it can also give your dog or cat many other benefits.

Every year thousands of stray and unwanted dogs are collected by Councils and rescue centres across the country. Neutering and spaying helps to prevent unwanted litters of puppies and can help reduce the number of unwanted dogs.

Neutering and spaying also has many health benefits, for both male and female dogs. It can help reduce certain types of cancers and infections which are common in non-neutered dogs. With female dogs, spaying stops them coming into season and reduces stress and prevents mess in the house and also stops unwanted attention from male dogs. With males, it can also help to prevent roaming and helps to reduce the urge to fight.

For more information or advice on neutering and spaying, please contact us to speak to an Animal Services Officer using the telephone number on the right.  We can offer free neutering in certain circumstances, especially where dogs are at risk.  Alternatively for more information, follow the links on our website or contact your local vet or animal charity.
