Jaký je rozdíl mezi kastrací a kastrací?

Termínem kastrace se rozumí sterilizace psů samců, která zahrnuje odstranění varlat. Kastrace se používá k popisu chirurgického zákroku, který psí feny podstupují, při kterém jsou odstraněny jejich vaječníky a děloha.

Oba postupy se provádějí v narkóze a obvykle netrvají déle než jednu hodinu. Rizika jsou minimální pro mladá, zdravá štěňata a očekává se, že se během několika dní vrátí k normálu.

Kolik stojí kastrace psa?

Kastrace je chirurgický zákrok, kdy veterinář provede řez v blízkosti šourku vašeho mazlíčka a odstraní mu varlata. Kastrace psa stojí mezi 35 a 350 USD v průměru v závislosti na věku a plemeni vašeho domácího mazlíčka, vaší lokalitě, typu veterinární kliniky, kterou si vyberete, a na tom, zda má zvíře nějaké již existující onemocnění.

Kromě samotné operace kastrátů mohou existovat také dodatečné náklady související s jinými postupy, které proběhnou předem, aby bylo zajištěno, že vaše štěně je dobrým kandidátem na operaci. Například v ordinaci soukromého veterináře budou náklady pravděpodobně zahrnovat fyzickou prohlídku, krevní test, anestezii, sledování, když je váš pes pod a poté, když se z toho začne zotavovat.

Kolik stojí kastrace psa?

Kastrační procedura zahrnuje chirurgický zákrok k odstranění dělohy a vaječníků feny. Similar to neutering, the cost will depend on multiple factors, including where you live, what type of vet you choose, your dog’s breed, size, and age.

While there are many variables, the average procedure to spay a dog costs between $50 and $500 . Spaying is a more complicated surgery than neutering, which is why it costs more. In private vet offices, the surgery involves putting your pet under anesthesia, monitoring her while she’s under and after the procedure, as well as all the bloodwork required.

If the procedure is more complicated than expected (for instance, if your pup is older or has a pre-existing condition and needs extra blood tests before surgery), that could add an additional $100 - $200 to the cost.

Many vets treat the cost of neutering or spaying on a case-by-case basis because every dog is unique. Talk to your vet in advance to make sure you understand the procedure and what’s included in the cost.

Tip pro profesionály: Pet insurance is an excellent way to care for your doggy. While most traditional pet insurance plans won’t cover neutering and spaying, many companies offer wellness plans which can help you pay for routine and preventative vet bills.

How size impacts the cost of spaying a dog

Simply put, bigger dogs require more anesthesia, more surgery time, more time to clip the surgical area, more suture materials, more pain medication, etc. That’s why spaying or neutering a large breed dog like Great Dane will likely cost more than performing the same procedure on a smaller dog like Chihuahua. However, some clinics charge a flat rate for all dogs regardless of their size.

Benefits of spaying/neutering your dog

Neutering or spaying your dog comes with a number of advantages. Here are some of the most important ones:

Medical benefits

Spayed female dogs live longer, healthier lives. Spaying helps prevent mammary tumors and uterine infections, whereas neutering prevents testicular cancer and prostate issues in male dogs.

Behavioral benefits

Spayed female dogs won’t go into heat and male pets will be less likely to escape from home looking for a mate. If the dog roams free, he risks being injured or even getting lost. In addition, unneutered dogs have a tendency to mark their territory by spraying urine all over the house. Some aggression issues might also be avoided by early neutering and your dog may be less likely to mount other dogs, objects, or people after he’s been neutered.

Reducing the number of homeless dogs

Canines have a natural inclination to breed and without neutering and spaying, there would be a pet overpopulation. Oftentimes, pet parents can’t afford to keep a whole litter of puppies and as a result, they abandon unwanted litters or turn them over to the shelter. Abandoned puppies often die of malnourishment or car accidents. Puppies in animal shelters can’t always be placed and in that case, they need to be euthanized.

When to spay or neuter a dog

The standard age for neutering is six to nine months, but puppies as young as eight weeks old can be neutered as long as they are healthy. Female dogs usually go into their first heat at six months of age , so it’s recommended to spay them prior to that first heat. If some situations it may be beneficial to spay or neuter later so be sure to discuss timing of these procedures with your veterinarian.

Dogs can also be spayed or neutered as adults, but the risk of post-surgery complications is a bit higher in older pups, as well as those that have health issues, and overweight dogs.

Veterinary hospitals vs. low-cost clinics

The decision whether to perform these procedures in a vet hospital or a neuter and spay clinic will depend on your financial situation and the level of comfort you want for your pet.

Ideally, your regular vet would be the best choice for the neutering or spaying procedure as they know your pet best and understand all the factors that should be considered prior to the surgery.

However, if you decide to seek help elsewhere, you can still get professional care at a reputable low-cost clinic. Nowadays, veterinarians and staff at low-cost clinics are highly trained and experienced, as they do high volumes of neuter and spay surgeries (30 to 50 per day).
