Neutering

Neutering refers to the surgical procedure performed on male dogs and cats to prevent them from getting a female pregnant. The benefits include elimination of behaviours such as urine marking in doors. It also decreases the health risks of  prostatitis and certain types of tumours. It is also part of responsible pet ownership as millions of unwanted dogs and cats are placed in shelters every year and many are euthanized.

Neutering involves surgical removal of both testicles under anesthetic.  During surgery your pet receives fluid therapy, has human and mechanical monitoring of his vitals and is kept warm by a circulating hot water blanket.

We recommend male dogs and cats be neutered at five and a half months of age.
