Chemical Castration Implants for Dogs

Suprelorin Implant: Non-Surgical Castration Injection

Chemical castration or non-surgical sterilisation for male dogs is available as a home visit, and can be used when the more permanent option is undesired. Male dogs can be sterilised with a hormonal implant that will prevent them being able to sexually reproduce. Implants come in two strengths that will have a duration of effect of either 6 months or 12 months. Note: Male dog infertility only occurs 8 weeks after implantation.

Dog Chemical Castration with Suprelorin Implants

Many pet owners are concerned that neutering or castration could be harmful to their dogs. Suprelorin now provides an effective solution for pet owners who want to see the effects of castration, without having to commit to a permanent surgical option.

Suprelorin / Non-Surgical castration is effective for:

Cytopoint Injections

What's the process of Chemical Castration?

Chemical castration is achieved by the injection of a hormone implant. These hormones block fertility hormone secretion, resulting in infertility.

As the procedure is non-surgical, no general anaesthetic is required. Our vet will attend to your pet at home where they are most comfortable and relaxed.

The implant is administered as an injection that is placed under the skin at the base of the neck or shoulder blades. After cleaning and sterilising the area, our vet will inject the implant under the loose skin over the shoulder blades. Pressure is maintained at the injection site for one minute to prevent any bleeding. There is no requirement for any stitches.

Due to stored sperm in the testicles, infertility typically arises 8 weeks after implantation.

Chemical Castration

Potential drawbacks of chemical castration

All medical procedures and medication can have adverse or unexpected outcomes. In the case of Suprelorin implants, the following needs to be considered;

Fertility

Return to full fertility is not guaranteed and time to return to full fertility is not exact. Infertility is delivered for a 6-12 month period and is reversible, however there is no guarantee that the dog will return to full fertility when the implant wears off

Weight

Like surgical castration, chemical castration can lead to weight gain and changes in coat quality

Costly

Replacing the hormone implant can be costly over time

Behaviour

Chemical castration can control hormone driven behaviours, it may not address all types of aggression or behavioural problems
