About this Episode

Evidence in Reproduction Control
The recent WSAVA reproduction control guidelines offer veterinarians a comprehensive, science-based framework for recommendations on the control of reproduction – moving beyond traditional methods to prioritize lifelong health. This episode translates the guidelines into clinical practice, exploring evidence on pediatric gonadectomy, non-surgical alternatives, and protocols that minimise long-term disease risks. Join us as we discuss how to integrate these global standards to enhance preventive care and support your patients.
