It's my local
Rivervale vets
He's registered there and the staff are always friendly and happy to dish out advice if you need it

Got mine booked in for Monday morning after finding my sofa shredded when i got home this afternoon.
£100. is the op and all that goes with it.
Although I wholeheartedly congratulate on your decision to neuter - it's not going to stop your pup shredding the sofa.
The Vet will be removing your dogs 'crown jewels' not his teeth! :rotfl:Some days you're the dog..... most days you're the tree!

One of my dog never lifts his leg and doesn't mark yet he wasn't neutered till he was 21 months, his brother on the other hand lift his leg all the time and marks most things while out on a walk.0

Dont forget if you're on certain benefits some vets do it for around £25, sponsored by the Dogs Trust:D"You can't stop the waves, but you can learn to surf"

I think you lot got bargains - I paid over £200 for my Parson Russell - they asked if I wanted blood tests first - that was £40 and then I had him chipped whilst he was under.
If you have money probs you can ring round Dogs Trust, RSPCA, PDSA and Blue Cross to see what help they give.0 -

Having your dog done will not stop the humping btw. Thats not anything to do with sex urges - its a dominance thing and also can just become a habit. My lad (minus balls) humps my leg every morning without fail as Im trying to get my coat on to walk him.
If you are neutering please leave it as long as possible - at least till your dog is a year old. Give him as much time as possible to fully mature.Quite often once a dog gets past the teen stage they dont show any interest in b1tches in season so theres very little reason to get them done0 -
I fully understand what you are saying, I had a very good chat with the vet's nurse and she told me all about her own dogs and how old they were when she had her's done.
One she had done at 6 months and never had a problem with him, he matured into a very happy dog, she had one done at 7 years after his time being a stud and she said she wished she had done him sooner.
Each dog is different, not all will stay in the puppy stage forever it's just the odd few that do.
My reasons are for my boy's health later in life, no testicular cancer or prostrate cancer for him if i have him done, I'm having him done Monday as i have a week off so i can be home to take him to the vets etc and spend some time with him and my son.Life is about give and take, if you can't give why should you take?0 -
Why does my vet recommend around 6 mths when some people recommend leaving it longer? Just wondered what the reasoning is?“A budget is telling your money where to go instead of wondering where it went.” - Dave Ramsey0
