Benefits of pet neutering

Pet neutering is a surgical procedure performed under general anaesthesia to remove part or all of an animal’s reproductive organs, preventing them from reproducing. In males, it is called castration and in females, spaying. We also offer keyhole surgery for your pet, a procedure which aims for a faster and more comfortable return to normal activity.
