Dog & Cat Neutering in Glasgow

Neutering is one of the most common procedures we carry out, and one of the most worthwhile for your pet’s long-term health.

Throne Vets provides neutering for dogs and cats across Glasgow and Greater Glasgow, including spay and castrate procedures. Surgery is carried out by experienced vets in our mobile vet vehicle at your home, so your pet avoids a stressful car journey and an unfamiliar clinic.

We’ll advise on the right timing for your pet, carry out a pre-operative check and use a multimodal approach to pain relief. Your pet then recovers at home, in familiar surroundings, with clear aftercare advice and support from us throughout.

Neutering Frequently Asked Questions

  • Spaying is the neutering procedure for female pets and involves removing the ovaries and, in most cases, the uterus. Castration is the neutering procedure for male pets and involves removing the testicles. Both are carried out under general anaesthetic.

  • Cats are usually neutered from around four months old. For dogs, the best timing depends on breed, size and sex, and some larger breeds benefit from waiting until they are fully grown. We’ll advise on the right time for your pet.

  • Neutering prevents unwanted litters and reduces the risk of certain health problems, including womb infections (pyometra) and some cancers. It can also reduce roaming, marking and other hormone-driven behaviours. We’ll talk through the pros and cons for your individual pet.

  • In our mobile vet vehicle, parked at your home or an agreed address in Glasgow and Greater Glasgow. Your pet avoids a car journey to a clinic and returns to familiar surroundings to recover.

  • Most pets recover within 10 to 14 days. During that time they’ll need restricted exercise and a buster collar or recovery suit to stop them licking the wound. Pain relief to take home is included where appropriate, and we’re available for questions throughout recovery.

  • The cost depends on whether your pet is a dog or cat and whether they need a spay or castrate. A single travel fee applies per visit, however many pets we see. You can find current neutering prices on our price list.
