The surgical removal of a male or female pet’s reproductive organ is known as neutering.
By reducing your pet’s vulnerability to some malignancies and pregnancy-related health problems, neutering helps to improve their general health. The likelihood of a neutered dog or cat living a healthier and happy life is higher.
Dog castration, often known as neutering a male dog, can reduce undesirable behaviours like scent-marking, aggressiveness, and competition with unneutered dogs. Dogs who have been castrated will consequently be less distracted during training, which will help.
Spaying a female dog refers to neutering her. By preventing unplanned pregnancies, spaying a dog helps to reduce the health risks associated with pregnancy and childbirth.
Since they are less prone to roam, bite, mark their territory, or act aggressively, neutered cats are typically considerably better behaved.
Prior to their first heat, female cats should be spayed to help ward off some diseases and malignancies.
Male cat neutering reduces the danger of prostate issues and eliminates the possibility of testicular cancer.
Paws in the City are here to make the process as painless and comfortable for your pet as possible.

IVDD is a condition that can affect the cushioning discs between the bones in the spine, causing pressure on the spinal cord and may cause mobility issues. Some breeds such as French Bulldog, Dachshund, Pekingese, Beagle, Cocker Spaniel (amongst others) are at an increased risk for IVDD. Up to 24% of dachshunds suffer with this disease!
Please speak to one of our vets if your dog is showing signs of decreased mobility or pain in their back when moving.

If you're taking your pet abroad you will need an animal health certificate. These must be processed in the 10 days before you enter the EU. Your pet must also have up to date boosters and rabies vaccination in order to travel.
Contact our Paws in the City team if your planning to travel with your pet soon and they can advised you on what your pet needs.
We do our best at Paws in the City to make every animal (and their humans!) that visit us feel as comfortable and welcomed as possible.
Practicing recommended aftercare following surgery or a procedure is essential in helping your pet to recover fully. Your vet will advise you of the best procedures to follow, but we've shared some general info over on pawsinthecityx.com
Here at Paws in the City, we do our very best to ensure your cats are at ease when they visit the vets. We have separate waiting areas for cats and dogs to help reduce their anxiety when visiting the practice.

Hi! I’m Megan and I have wanted to be a groomer ever since I was a child. I trained and studied animal behaviour and have loved animals for as long as I can remember. As well as meeting all of the animals that come into the practice, I love meeting and chatting with their humans too!
As a veterinary professional, there is no greater reward than seeing your animals leave us feeling happy and content
It is important to teach your children how to be safe around animals. Even your family pet that you feel you know through and through can suddenly become unpredictable.
Remember most importantly - Supervise or Separate!
If you can't be there to keep an eye on the interaction, then you should not leave the children and animals alone together, keep them apart!
Become a part of the Paws in the City family to make your life a little easier by having everything that your pet needs all in one place. Our brilliant veterinary and grooming teams are on hand to help offer advice and answer any questions!
