Having your pet desexed is part of being a responsible pet owner. Cats and dogs can produce offspring from an early age. They can have many litters of kittens or puppies during their lives. Desexing your pets can help reduce the numbers of unplanned puppies and kittens.

Desexing your pet can have positive health and behavioural advantages, such as reducing the incidence of roaming, disease and aggression in cats and dogs.
