Neutering is a common surgical procedure, yet an essential one, both for the individual animal's health and for managing pet populations as a whole. It brings many preventive benefits.
Health benefits
- In females: prevents mammary tumours (if done early) and uterine infections (pyometra), and ends the stress of heat cycles.
- In males: removes the risk of testicular cancer and reduces prostate problems.
Effect on behaviour
Neutering can reduce hormone-driven behaviours such as urine marking, territorial aggression between males and running away in search of a mate.

- Note the date the stitches come out in the calendar.
- Track your pet's weight (neutering slows the metabolism and can lead to weight gain).
- Keep the scanned surgical report so you can access it at any time.
