Desexing
At Terrey Hills Animal Hospital, we provide safe, professional desexing (neutering) procedures for dogs, cats, rabbits, ferrets, and other companion animals. Desexing involves surgically removing part of your pet’s reproductive system to prevent unwanted pregnancies, while also providing important health and behavioural benefits.
Female pets: Procedure called a spay
Male pets: Procedure called a castration
Why Desex Your Pet?
Desexing your pet offers a range of benefits:
- Prevents unwanted pregnancies and helps reduce the stray animal population
- Reduces wandering and unwanted attention from other animals
- Health benefits, including lowered risk of cancers and conditions such as pyometra
- Behavioural improvements by reducing certain instinctual behaviours
For maximum benefit, desexing is recommended at a young age, but it can be safely performed on pets of various ages.
