Pet neutering scheme

Benefits of having your pet neutered

• reduces the chance of developing breast cancer and removes the threat of ovarian cancer and internal infections, which are common problems in un-neutered females

• prevents testicular tumours and may help prevent prostate problems

• neutered male cats are less likely to mark their territory and are less tempted to leave your property in search of a female, or fight over territory with other males

• neutering your male dog may help to calm him down

• reduces the number of unwanted and stray animals.
