De-sexing Your Pet
Cats and dogs are able to start their reproductive lives at a very young age, and throughout their lifetime can potentially deliver many litters of kittens or puppies.
Not only does de-sexing help reduce the problem of unwanted puppies and kittens, it can also result in positive behavioural advantages.
Pets of any age can be de-sexed, even as young as eight weeks. The operation is undertaken by a vet and is a very straightforward procedure, causing minimal discomfort to your pet.
Cheaper De-sexing
Maroondah City Council can assist Pensioners/Concession Card Holders in obtaining a reduction in the cost of de-sexing their cat or dog by local vets.
De-sexing vouchers are available from Council's Customer Service Outlets. The top half of the voucher is to be completed by Council and the bottom half by the vet. Please check that your vet is a participant in this program first.
Please note a maximum of two vouchers will be issued to each household.
