This Spay Awareness Month, the CDCH team shares their advice about neutering your furry friends.
Neutering your animal can help prevent illnesses and some unwanted behaviours. Here’s everything you need to know about neutering and its benefits for you and your furry friend.
Castration is the general term used to describe the surgical removal of a male animals’ testes, under general anaesthesia.
Spaying refers to the surgical removal of a female animals’ ovaries and or uterus under general anaesthesia.
To see if your dog or cat is ready to be neutered, we suggest booking in with your veterinary surgeon or veterinary nurse for a pre-neutering health check
We recommend seeking veterinary advice if you are concerned about the impact neutering will have on any behavioural traits in your animal. All options should be carefully considered and discussed so you can make the right decision for your companion.
It’s important to follow the help and guidance provided by your vet following a neutering procedure.
We offer a low-cost veterinary clinic for individuals in receipt of a means-tested benefit here at our rehoming centre in Cambridge, Gloucestershire. As well as our clinic, we also offer support through neutering and help voucher schemes.
