Spay & Neuter Surgery for Cats & Dogs
Spaying or neutering your dog or cat is an important decision in their life. These routine procedures help prevent certain cancers, reduce unwanted behaviors like roaming or marking, and eliminate the risk of unplanned litters.
The term "neuter" stands for both spaying (females) and castration (males).
Where possible, this is best done when they are still a puppy or kitten. We know having a neutering surgery performed on your pet can be scary. But the Petsasa Vetcare team of highly trained veterinarians can perform this routine surgery using safety practices in a hospital setting or comfortably at home in our mobile vet ambulance.

Neutering for Cats & Dogs
A neuter is a routine surgical procedure done for the removal of your pet’s internal reproductive organs (ovaries, uterus, testicles). However, among most pet owners, this term stands for the procedure to remove a male dog’s or cat’s testicles, thus making them sterile. This is sometimes referred to as castration.
Neutering will be carried out by your vet under general anaesthetic so your pet will be asleep throughout the procedure. It’s a straightforward process and you can usually take your pet home the same day to recuperate in a familiar, safe environment.
Spaying for Cats & Dogs
A spay is a routine, elective surgery for sterilization for female pets, meaning your pet won’t produce any litters of puppies or kittens.
The vet will usually remove both the ovaries and uterus. Sometimes they will remove just the ovaries though this is much less common in Kenya. talk to our vet doctors who will explain all the different options open to you
What Should I Expect After Neutering Surgery?
After spay or neuter surgery, most pets recover quickly, but the first few days are key to healing.
To help the healing process, keep your pet calm, limit jumping or running, and prevent them from licking the incision.
