Sterilization is a process used by veterinarians to permanently prevent reproduction in pets. This can be achieved through surgical proceduresor medications injected into the animal’s bloodstream. Sterilization helps protect you and others who live with your pet from unwanted offspring.If you have a dog or cat with young pups at home, they should be spayed or neutered before they reach sexual maturity to prevent them from having more babies.
