This gorgeous girl has been missing since Thursday 21st August at 11.30pm, it’s very out of character for her to be gone this long. She was last seen in the Priory Bank area in Coldstream and her owners are very worried.

If you think you may have seen her, please call us on 01361 883742.

Should you get your dog castrated ❓

The answer is…

It depends on the individual dog and home situation.
Castration is not suitable for every dog.
There are pros and cons to neuter or not to neuter and your vet can help you make that decision.

Pros -
✂️Prevent accidental matings in the home.
✂️Aids in the treatment of some conditions such as perineal hernias and a**l adenomas.
✂️Can reduce testosterone driven behaviours such as scent marking, roaming and *cough* hu***ng.

Cons -
🥎Potential to make an anxious dog worse. Nor is it going ‘calm them down’ training should be the first tool in correcting unwanted behaviours not driven by testosterone.
🥎Can be linked to some orthopaedic diseases and some cancers. If castration is needed, it should be done ideally when the dog is fully grown - this is important in large/giant breeds with a slower rate of growth.

There is also the option of ‘Chemical Castration’ which is in the form of an implant inserted the same way as a microchip which can last up to a year. This will give an insight into the affects of castration on a dogs behaviour, without making a permanent alteration.

For more information or advice, please contact your nearest Galedin branch.

We have been made aware of a possible stray cat which has been wondering around Castle Gate since June. He is not microchipped but is neutered. We would just like to make sure he has not lost his owner. Please contact us if you know who this cat belongs to.
