Neutering

We neuter the pets of South Shields & Boldon Colliery to prevent unwanted breeding, as well as providing potential health and behavioural benefits.

What is neutering?

Neutering is a surgical procedure which takes away a pet’s ability to reproduce. It is known as spaying in females and castration in males. 

Spaying, sometimes spelt speying, involves the removal of the ovaries and uterus (womb). Castration is the removal of the testes (testicles).

Neutering pets can be beneficial for their health and wellbeing, as well as preventing unplanned litters.
