Neutering (castration for males) and spaying (removal of the ovaries and uterus in females) are simple, routine procedures that can have a lifelong positive impact on your pet’s health and behaviour. At Moate Vet Hospital, we routinely perform these procedures for dogs, cats, rabbits, and guinea pigs.

In addition to preventing unwanted litters, neutering and spaying can help reduce behavioural issues such as roaming, spraying, and aggression. These procedures also significantly reduce the risk of certain cancers and other serious health issues, including uterine infections in female pets.

Our friendly vet team will talk you through the process from start to finish, answering any questions you may have along the way. Your pet will receive the same high standard of anaesthesia and pain management that we provide for all surgeries, and we will discuss aftercare with you to ensure your pet recovers comfortably at home.
