Neuter
What is Neutering?
Neutering is a surgical procedure performed on male pets to remove the testicles, which effectively prevents reproduction. This procedure, medically known as castration, is conducted under general anesthesia by a veterinarian. Neutering helps manage the health and behavior of pets and contributes to overall pet welfare.

-
Improves Behavior: Neutering can help reduce or eliminate certain behavioral issues such as aggression, marking territory, and roaming in search of a mate.
