Veterinary Neutering
Neutering is the term used to describe the removal of an animal’s reproductive organs: it is the process of surgically preventing an animal’s ability to reproduce. Neutering not only helps keep your pet safe from a number of different health problems, but it also helps reduce overpopulation, where sadly, thousands of pets across the nation are either abandoned or put to sleep as a result of there being insufficient homes or resources to care for them. It is best not to put off neutering to a later date, as the benefits associated with neutering will start to reduce. Please see below for specific recommendations, depending on whether you have a cat or a dog.
