So can we talk about castration for dogs for a moment?

Well, yes, and before you all wince and cross your legs, things have changed, okay?

They really have. Turns out the old snip-snip approach isn't the one-size-fits-all answer anymore.

In fact, new veterinary guidelines recommend that vets should move away from recommending

surgical castration in dogs as a blanket policy.

Instead, vets should be having tailored conversations with dog owners about the best route for

your pup.

Exactly.

There are pros and cons and it's about doing what's right for your dog, not just

what's been done forever.

Well, there's a temporary medical implant that provides the benefits of castration without

the palaver of surgery or anaesthetic. It's simple, smart and can be done in a regular vet visit.

You can try it out with your vet and see how your individual dog responds before making a big decision. It's really clever stuff.

Ask your vet about the medical implant at your next visit. It's good to know all the options, especially when it comes to something this important.

Yeah, have a good, proper chat with your vet.

And hopefully in the future, he'll be able to offer exactly the same treatment for the man in your life.

Now we go, Judith.
