Neutering

Healthcare image

Every year thousands of healthy animals are destroyed and because good homes cannot be found for them. It is important not to add to this pool of unwanted cats and dogs. Having your pet neutered not only prevents unwanted pregnancies but is also a practical way of safeguarding your pet's health.

Your partner in caring for your pet should be your veterinary surgeon. Regular visits to a vet for routine health checks and preventative health care such as vaccination and treatment for fleas and worms allow you and your pet to build a relationship with your vet. You should ask your vet for advice on important issues such as neutering. They can give impartial advice on the best solutions for your own circumstances.
