Pet Neutering & Aftercare
As well as preventing unwanted pregnancies and reducing the number of strays & family pets in rescue centres, neutering offers several health benefits too.
Neutering (also called female spay and male castration) is considered the most responsible action to take if you don’t intend to breed from your pet. Cats, dogs, rabbits, ferrets and some small furries can be neutered.
