JarrahVet · Perth
Does your female dog keep getting urinary problems?
Repeated toilet trips. Accidents indoors. Persistent licking. Another uncomfortable episode just when you thought things had settled. When the problem keeps returning, you deserve a clear explanation of what to investigate and what may help.
A clearer next step for you and your dog
JarrahVet starts with understanding the problem. A review of your dog’s history, previous results and current symptoms helps shape an individual plan. The aim is to identify contributing factors and explain your options in language you can use.
For some female dogs, excess skin around a recessed or ‘hooded’ vulva contributes to recurring irritation or infection. Corrective surgery called vulvoplasty, also known as episioplasty, may help when an examination and investigation show that this is part of the problem.
Surgery in clinic. Personal care at home.
Dr Siavash Noor provides your initial home assessment, performs the operation when surgery is appropriate, and returns for the planned home reviews. You see the same vet throughout the agreed care pathway.
Your first home visit costs $119, including travel and a 30–45 minute consultation. Tests, medicines and other treatments are additional. All fees include GST. Home visits cover the Perth metropolitan area.
For dogs proceeding to surgery, the care plan includes home reviews around two and ten days afterwards. Suture removal is planned at the later review when healing is suitable.
From a recurring problem to an informed decision
-
First, tell us what has been happening. Your dog’s symptoms, previous treatments and laboratory results give the consultation a useful starting point.
-
Next, agree on the assessment. Your vet explains what the examination suggests, which tests may be useful and what each result could change. Not every dog needs the same tests or treatment.
-
Then, choose the next step together. That may be medical management, investigation of another cause, or a discussion about vulvoplasty. If surgery is recommended, you receive a plan for the procedure, costs and recovery before deciding.

Your questions
Clear answers before you decide
Do I need to know whether my dog needs surgery?
No. The consultation is the place to understand the problem and discuss options. Requesting an assessment does not commit you to an operation.
Is this service only about vulvoplasty?
The starting point is recurring urinary problems in female dogs and whether the skin and structures around the vulva (external female genital area) are contributing. Other findings may point to medical treatment or additional investigation. The consultation helps identify the appropriate next step.
Can you use results from my usual vet?
Previous records are valuable. With your permission, relevant notes, urine culture results and imaging reports can inform the assessment. The arrangements for obtaining and sharing them will be confirmed with you.
