Neutering

If your pet were to fall pregnant unexpectedly, would you be prepared for the litter that follows? Would you have enough time and money to care for the young puppies/kittens, as well as the necessary space and living arrangements?

At Eden Vets, Cupar, we believe that if you don’t intend to breed from your companion, neutering is the most responsible action to take. The quick and relatively straightforward procedure is used to remove the sexual organs, making it impossible for your companion to breed.

Benefits of neutering a female animal (known as spaying):

Prevention of pregnancy

Prevention of mating with siblings

Prevention of coming into season, attracting unwanted attention and bleeding

Prevention of uterine and ovarian cancer

Prevention of pyometra

Benefits of neutering a male animal (known as castration):

Prevention of mating with siblings

Prevention of marking territory

Prevention of behaviours such as aggression and hyperactivity

Prevention of testicular cancer

At Eden Vets, our skilled veterinary surgeons have a wealth of experience when it comes to neutering animals. In fact, in the majority of cases, pets are at home recovering with their owners the same day as their surgery.
