Responsible, caring treatment for your pet’s long-term health
Neutering is a routine, safe procedure that brings a range of health and behavioural benefits for both male and female pets. At Fab Vets, we offer professional neutering services for dogs, cats, and rabbits, with expert care before, during and after surgery.
Whether you’ve just welcomed a new puppy or kitten, or you’re thinking about booking your pet in soon, we’ll talk you through everything and make sure it’s the right choice for your animal.
Benefits of Neutering
Neutering doesn’t just help control the pet population, it also supports your pet’s long-term health, happiness and behaviour. Some of the main benefits include:
Prevents unwanted litters
Reduces the risk of certain cancers (e.g. mammary, testicular or uterine cancer)
Helps reduce roaming and straying behaviour
Can calm aggressive or hormone-driven behaviours
Eliminates the risk of pyometra (a life-threatening uterine infection in females)
Avoids seasonal bleeding in females
Helps pets live longer, healthier lives
We’ll always take the time to talk through what’s right for your pet, their breed, and their lifestyle.

neutering FAQ’s
-
Cats: 5/6months of age
Rabbits: 6 months of age
Dogs: Depending on a patients breed this can be anywhere from 6 months - 12 months of age. For females we generally spay 3 months after their 1st season ( or 3 months after a season in older dogs). For males deciding whether or not to castrate and what age they are depends entirely on the lifestyle and temperament of the patient.
We encourage owners to have a chat with us regarding neutering and together we can decide when the right time for neutering your pet may be depending on health, temperament, behaviour and lifestyle.
-
Yes. Neutering is a routine procedure performed under general anaesthetic. We take every precaution to ensure your pet is safe, comfortable and cared for before, during and after surgery.

In most cases, neutering is a same-day procedure. Your pet will come in in the morning and go home later the same day with clear aftercare instructions.

Neutering doesn’t change your pet’s personality, but it can reduce unwanted behaviours linked to hormones, such as mounting, roaming, spraying, or aggression in some cases.
-
There are medical alternatives in some cases (such as hormone injections for male dogs), but they are usually temporary. We’ll talk you through your options if you’re unsure.
-
Yes, there’s no upper age limit as long as your pet is healthy. We’ll always assess your pet before surgery and advise if any precautions are needed.
