Neutering is a surgical procedure called an orchectomy, eliminating the ability to reproduce and removes the primary source of production of the male hormone production. It is a routine procedure requiring one-day hospitalization for a cat and overnight hospitalization for a dog.

When an animal is neutered (doctored), we remove the organs responsible for allowing the animal to breed. In females this is referred to as spaying; in males this is referred to as castration. The operation is not reversible, and a neutered pet will never be able to breed.There are a number of things to think about before having your pet neutered. We will try to answer these questions here, but if you have any further queries, or wish to discuss your decision, the veterinary surgeons and Veterinary Health Advisors at the surgery will be very happy to assist you. What can I expect if decide not to neuter my dog? Bitches usually come into season (heat) twice a year, and have their first season at about 6-8 months of age. Each season consists of one cycle, with bleeding from the vulva at the beginning of the heat, followed by the receptive period when mating will take place, bleeding is less and the bitch is very receptive to the attention of male dogs.
