Yes, 'pet desexing' is an umbrella term that includes both spaying (removal of the ovaries and usually the uterus in females) and neutering (removal of the testicles in males). Both procedures prevent reproduction and can have health and behavioral benefits. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), these surgeries are safe and commonly recommended for controlling pet populations and reducing certain health risks.
