What's involved
Castration is a routine operation under general anaesthetic to remove a male dog's testicles. It stops him fathering puppies and can calm some hormone driven behaviour. Most dogs go home the same day.
Many vets charge by weight, so a large breed usually costs more than a small one. Ask your vet about the right age for your dog, as advice varies with breed and size.
Check whether pain relief, a buster collar and the check up afterwards are included.
Each price is taken from the practice's own website or price list. Prices change, so the practice's own quote is the one that counts.
