Desexing or neutering your pet is a surgical procedure that prevents them from being able to reproduce. In male pets desexing is commonly referred to as 'castration', while desexing of female pets is called 'speying'. This is the most frequent surgery performed by our vets, and generally your pet is home by the evening of surgery.
