Thank you for your email. I am Dr Sing K Y from Toa Payoh Vets.

Generally, all healthy female dogs at around 36 months of age will have no complications during or after spay.

Complications refer to anaesthetic deaths, post-op deaths, bleeding and infections. The duration of spay should be less than 30 minutes and the estimated total cost is around $250-350 at Toa Payoh Vets ( including anaesthesia, surgery, post-op injections and medication and e-collar). Pl make an appointment at 6254 3326 one day in advance.

The best time to spay is 2-3 months after the last heat (bleeding)
