What is Spaying or Neutering?

Spaying or neutering is the surgical removal of certain reproductive organs (in the female, the uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries; in the male, the testicles). Neuter surgery on female animals is sometimes called "spaying." The surgery prevents females from becoming pregnant and prevents males from impregnating females.

Animals are anesthetized during the surgery to spare them from pain.
