Desexing your pet

Find out about the benefits of desexing your pet.

Desexing your pet can be a great choice if you are unlikely to want to breed from your pet. Dogs and cats can be safely desexed from three months of age.

Why should I desex my pet?

• Desexed dogs and cats can be better behaved and are less likely to roam.
• Desexed cats are less likely to yowl at night or spray strong smelling urine.
• Desexing your pets can also be a health benefit, as it can prevent them from getting certain types of cancer.
• You'll also be helping to avoid contributing to the problem of pet overpopulation in Victoria.
• We give discount registration and permit rates for pets that are desexed. The savings keep be substantial, as registration is required annually.
