We had our youngest bitch spayed via keyhole - the recovery was far quicker than our 2 other bitches who were spayed by the traditional method ( and both older bitches were spayed by very experienced vets / good surgeons who i fully trust) and she was back to her normal self and exercise etc within a fraction of the time compared to the others .

You can find a practice near you in the uk using
Veterinarylaparoscopy.com

We went to one a bit further than was necessary as we wanted someone very experienced to do the op . It was worth the travel and the extra expense.

We would not hesitate to do keyhole again .
 
Hi - we paid ÂŁ450 for keyhole compared to ÂŁ250 for traditional spay - I know friends who have paid less than this for a similar sized dog but tbh as a one-off procedure I was happy to pay for someone who I felt happy with to do the op and I don't begrudge a penny if it - the next bitch will have the same if she is going to be spayed :)
 
Forgot to say she was back to normal activity levels within a week and would have been happy to work her ( avoiding water) after 7 days - waited 2 weeks before letting her retrieve from water just to be on the safe side .
