At Fetcher Dog we go above and beyond to ensure the safety, well-being, and happiness of our beloved dogs, enabling them to live their best lives.
In this post we look at neutering a dog, the benefits and science behind this procedure.
What is neutering?
Neutering, sometimes called sterilisation is a common type of surgery that permanently stops your dog from being able to have puppies. In male dogs, this is known as castration and involves the testicles (testes) being removed. In females, the ovaries and usually the uterus are taken out and is called spaying.
