Desexing and Microchipping

Responsible pet ownership
for a safer, healthier community

We believe desexing and microchipping are essential components of responsible pet ownership.

These simple procedures not only provide lifelong benefits for your pet but also contribute to a safer and healthier community.

At Virginia Veterinary, we are committed to making these services accessible and affordable for all pet owners, ensuring that every pet receives the care they need to thrive.

Desexing

Desexing protects your pet from unwanted pregnancies, while reducing the risk of behavioural issues and certain cancers. It also helps to control pet overpopulation. We offer safe and affordable desexing services for both male and female cats and dogs.

Microchipping

Microchips ensure your pet can always find their way home. This is a permanent form of identification that increases the chances of reuniting lost pets with their Virginia Veterinary owners.

Microchipping is quick and painless, and gives you peace of mind
knowing your pet is protected.
