Technically, neutering refers to the removal of the reproductive organs on both male and female companion animals. However, “neutering” is the term commonly used to refer to sterilization of a male by the surgical removal of the testicles. “Spay” is the surgical removal of the ovaries and uterus of a female companion animal. Additional terms that are sometimes used to describe neuter or spay include “alter” and “sterilize”.
