Patented Neuticles are testicular implants for pets. Neuticles are available for canines, felines, equine, bulls or any pet which is neutered. Neuticles should be implanted when the pet is neutered- but can be implanted years afterwards in most cases.

Why Neuticles?

The 200 year-old traditional form of altering used on family pets includes the permanent removal of the pet's testicles. Many caring pet owners hesitate or even to refuse to neuter their pets because of this. Neuticles eliminates 'neuter-hesitant' concerns - as a 'Neuticled' pet looks exactly the same after surgery.

Why not a Vasectomy?

This expensive procedure simply sterilizes the pet. The pet still retains all aggressive behavior and characteristics of a non-neutered animal. For this reason- a Vasectomy is rarely performed on pets.

My vet said that my pet will reject any foreign object. Is this true?

NeuticlesOriginals are crafted from FDA medically approved polypropylene homopolymere which is non-porus and rigid in firmness. NeuticlesNatural are solid silicone - not gel filled or saline filled but a solid rubber-like material that replicates the pet's testicle in firmness once implanted. Neuticles UltraPLUS is the latest in solid silicone technology and feels almost like its' liquid filled- but is still solid silicone. In addition, the UltraPLUS features a special 'etching' on the exterior which retards the risk of scar tissue development.

Can Neuticles leak and harm my pet?

Firm yet soft and natural when implanted- 100% safe and is backed by a $2 million per occurrance product liability guarantee.

What is scar tissue development?

Some pets develop scar tissue. It is totally harmless and does not disfigure the Neuticle in any way. Scar tissue is a micro-thin film that may surround the Neuticles making it feel firmer to the human touch. While this is not a concern to most pet owners the way to eliminate potential development is to gently massage the Neuticles weekly to break up any possible formations or to Neuticle their pet with the Neuticles UltraPLUS which features a special textured exterior which virtually eliminates the risk of potential scar tissue development.

When are Neuticles implanted?

People know their beloved pet. Their pet can tell them when they are hungry, want to play, don't feel well, hide when approaching the vet's office or will get excited when driving by or going to the park- why wouldn't the pet know a familiar body part is missing? Would he know if his foot was cut off? Of course he would- its only common sense.

It is recommended that you neuter with Neuticles at eight months or older. Although the pet will 'fill-out' in weight after eight months of age, the testicles and all other body organs are fully developed.

Is scrotal placement less expensive than tunic placement?

Is scrotal placement less expensive than tunic placement? Yes. There are two patented implantation methods- scrotal and tunica. Scrotal placement means the Neuticles are placed directly in the scrotum. The scrotal tissues then 'stretch wrap" around the Neuticles and hold them perfectly in place for the life of the pet. Because this method takes only seconds for the veterinarian to do- it is normally less expensive than tunic placement. Tunic placement takes from three to four minutes per testicle. It involves the veterinarian making an incision on the side of the tunic- removing the pets natural testes and then placing the Neuticle back into the tunic and sutering the tissue over the Neuticle.

Is there any cosmetic difference between tunic and scrotal placement?

Actually either method is virtually undetectable. Normally scrotal placement is employed when the tunic is not available in previously neutered pets or monorchid/ cryptorchid pets where the tunic is destroyed when extracating the retained testes. Those pet owners neutering on a budget can feel completely confident in requesting scrotal implantation.

Absolutely not. While the material used for Neuticles is FDA approved, a second FDA approval is required by law for each area of the human body an implant is placed.
