The sterilization also influences the tom-like behavior of a male. It is not necessary to explain how this operation can facilitate the life of the owner. Females after surgical intervention don't have heats no more.
An animal not less than 8-9 months can be operated on. However, it is necessary to discuss all the details with your veterinary in each case.
