Spaying and Neutering

Professional Procedures to Promote Better Health and Prevent Overpopulation

About the Service

Spaying and neutering are essential surgical procedures that provide long-term health benefits for pets while also helping to control the pet population. These safe and effective operations reduce the risk of certain cancers, infections, and hormone-related behaviours, ensuring your pet lives a healthier and happier life.

Spaying (for females) involves removing the ovaries and uterus, preventing heat cycles and reducing the risk of uterine infections and mammary tumours. Neutering (for males) involves the removal of the testicles, which can help curb aggressive behaviour, territorial marking, and the likelihood of testicular cancer. Both procedures contribute to better overall well-being and a more balanced temperament in pets.

Why Does My Pet Need This Service?

Spaying and neutering offer significant health benefits and behavioural improvements for pets. Beyond preventing unplanned litters, these procedures help reduce roaming tendencies, aggressive behaviour, and mating-related stress. They also lower the risk of serious health conditions, including reproductive cancers and infections, which can develop later in life if left unaltered.

In addition, spaying and neutering contribute to reducing the number of stray and unwanted animals in shelters, helping to prevent overpopulation. By choosing this procedure for your pet, you are making a responsible decision that benefits both your pet and the wider pet community.

What to Expect

Our veterinary team performs spaying and neutering procedures in a safe, sterile, and professionally monitored environment. Before the surgery, we will conduct a thorough health check to ensure your pet is fit for the procedure. The surgery itself is carried out under general anaesthesia, and pets typically recover quickly with the right post-operative care.

After the procedure, our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions, including pain management, rest requirements, and wound care. Most pets are back to their usual selves within a few days, though it’s important to follow recovery guidelines to ensure a smooth healing process.
