Do you mean vasectomy ? or castration Vasectomy wont reduce smell they will be entire still castration will redcue the smell a little de scenting is a mutation & wont be perfored by any vet unless it is for a medical reason costs for both operations varies greatly from area to area Quote Link to post
stealthy1 3,964 Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Bumped into a mate the other day, said he has just had one hob castrated £23, and another V'd which cost £38. Price seems to vary depending where you live, ring around for a quote, dont just go to the first vet you come across. Quote Link to post
