Dog spaying is a surgical procedure called ovariohysterectomy, where the female dog’s ovaries and uterus are removed through an incision in her midline whilst under general anaesthetic.

This procedure will prevent her from getting ovarian and uterine cancer, as well as a serious infection of the uterus called pyometra.

Cat spaying is a surgical procedure called ovariohysterectomy, where the female cat’s ovaries and uterus are removed through an incision in her midline whilst under general anaesthetic. This procedure will prevent her from getting ovarian and uterine cancer, as well as a serious infection of the uterus called pyometra. Spaying your female cat:

• Helps prevent unwanted litters and limits feral cat population and its impact on the environment;
• Limits the spread of genetic abnormalities that professional breeders try to control;
• Prevents your cat developing uterine cancer and infection (pyometra);
• Significantly reduces the risk of hormone-induced diseases;
• Prevents or reduces hormone-mediated behavioural issues.
