If you are on certain benefits, I believe that the Dogs Trust will do for £30 & PDSA treat animals (I don't know about the snip) if you are on Housing Benefit or Council Tax Benefit. Check their website.

Yes I'm affraid it is only Wales, it has been running for about a year now. One of my bitches is going Thursday and the other next month. Does spaying change their character?

I had a bitch done years ago and never found a change in her character although I think they say that they tend to lay down a bit of fat. Much like women in the menopause I guess.

In my experience, neutering does not change a thing. A dog driven to work will work regardless of whether it has testicles or not. A bitch can have behaviour changes when due in season.
Neutering reduces the risks of prostate and ovarian tumours, infections and cysts, and mammary tumours in bitches.
An overweight dog is an overfed dog. Adjust there feed accordingly, yes they need less feed but we can control how much they eat to keep them slim  :thumbsup:
Unless you are seriously considering breeding then please neuter.

My Goldie who I am not going to breed from had her bits removed today. She is feeling a bit sorry for herself at moment, but that's not helped by the fact that she has got to have a buster collar on as she won't leave her operation site alone. Hopefully she will be feeling a bit better tomorrow. :fc:

Hear hear, and I would add to that unless you intend to have all the necessary health checks done, don't breed!
