Spaying and neutering are a common procedure performed on pets where all or most of their reproductive organs are removed. This reduces behaviors such as mounting, urine spraying or marking, female heats (often messy in dogs, can be noisy in cats), and forms of male aggression, which are highly undesirable activities in domestic animals. Additionally, eliminating a dog or cat's ability to reproduce helps reduce their numbers in a world where there are more dogs and cats than there are homes for them, as feral cats and dogs are considered an invasive species in some environments.
In fiction, Sapient Pets are not so understanding of the practical reasons for why they are spayed or neutered. Whatever the benefits, they just don't want their reproductive parts cut off. Talking Animals may protest the procedure, and others may attempt to avoid the procedure at all costs. May also render an animal Afraid Of Vets if it knows this is one possible reason for veterinary appointments. Sometimes combined with Share the Male Pain, if male animals (and/or male owners) flinch and cover their privates at the mere mention of the process. If the animal gets its way and avoids being neutered, Animals Lack Attributes is defied. If the animal doesn't get its way, it might get a Crippling Castration and likely become a Lazy Neutered Pet.
Though not always the case, cat examples tend to Played for Drama and dog examples tend to get Played for Laughs.
The failure to avert this fate can be used as a Freudian Excuse for animal examples of Eunuchs Are Evil.

Mentioned in a sketch where George Jetson is mysteriously killed. One section of the sketch shows Mr. Spacely, the new Jetson patriarch, sending Elroy to his room. Astro speaks (sort of) in Elroy's defense, only to back down when Spacely threatens to neuter him.

The Simpsons:
Santa's Little Helper once knocks up a Greyhound producing a litter of 24 puppies. Many seasons later, SLH gets a neighbour's bitch pregnant and most of the family are confused because they speak about the previous plot and say he was neutered afterward. Turns out Homer took him for one last fling before the operation (visiting a dog brothel for example), but then didn't go through with it.

This shows up at least twice in Looney Tunes, of all places:
The Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries used this kind of joke in the episode "Fifty Karat Furball" when Tweety offers to help Sylvester get the I of Istanbul out of his stomach and tries to assure him by saying he'll be fixed in no time. Sylvester panics at the mention of "fixed", which causes Tweety to acknowledge that he used a very poor choice of words.
Looney Tunes Cartoons: The ending of the short "Fully Vetted", in which Sylvester tries to catch Tweety in a veterinarian office, has him unwittingly enter a vet's operating room. It's obvious what happened in there when he comes out hours later, totally traumatized and wearing a diaper, before walking into the street and laying down to get hit by a truck.

Greg the Bunny. Greg and Junction Jack dogsit for a girl Jimmy is going out with, and the dog hasn't been neutered and is quite aggressive. Jack suggests neutering him; he knows how because he was raised on a farm and did it to bulls all the time. When Jimmy and his girl get back she can tell right away, partially because they replaced the dog's testes with a pair of artificial eyes that jingle when the dog moves around. She is very upset.

In Wondermark, a Dachshund learns that his owners are taking him to be neutered, and he vows that "There will be carnage!" before he lets them get away with it. We then see him after the operation, and he's feeling "pretty mellow" about the whole ordeal.

Cat Pack: The cats are horrified that humans spay and neuter them so they can't reproduce. They think of it as a violation and complain about how humans should get themselves "fixed". They later come to the conclusion that maybe there is a cat overpopulation problem and maybe it is okay to neuter cats, but none of them want to personally be spayed or neutered.

Spayed and neutered cats in The Book of Night with Moon are treated essentially as they have No Biological Sex by other cats. Played with in that most cat wizards are altered; Rhiow, at least, considers this something of a blessing, as it means she's never been distracted by estrus.

Ready Jet Go!: In "Castaway Carrot", Celery says "let's fix this puppy" (referring to the saucer) and Sunspot screams in terror. Jet reassures him that Sunspot isn't going to be 'fixed' and the 'puppy' in question is the saucer. Due to Bizarre Alien Biology and Barbie Doll Anatomy, it's unknown if Bortronian pets even need neutering, but the context suggests that they do and Sunspot is afraid of it.

Averted in A Dog's Purpose. The protagonist is neutered in all of his lives but he doesn't react negatively towards it. He's more annoyed by the pain that occurs after surgery, and the embarrassing cone he has to wear, than the actual neutering. However, in his case, he doesn't understand what sex even is and doesn't understand why he's neutered. He just notices that females no longer smell a certain way to him (or when he is a female, that she no longer has an embarrassing smell).

The Fairly OddParents!:
"Dog Day Afternoon" had Timmy switch places with Doydle, Vicky's dog. The episode becomes a race against time for Timmy to find a way to communicate he wants to switch back before Vicky has him fixed (with the vet's increasingly large and scary drill-like fixing mechanisms). Doydle (without Timmy in his body) does end up getting fixed. Like Vicky's other neutered pets (which include a bird and a fish, animals which are rarely neutered in real life), Doydle becomes lethargic.
"The Big Superhero Wish" has Cosmo and Wanda accompany Timmy as Clefto and Ace the Chin Hounds and end up imprisoned in a ball of anti-magic energy by Mr. Crocker's supervillain counterpart Dr. Crocktopus, who threatens to "fix" them for good. Cosmo responds by pleading that he doesn't want to get "fixed".
In "The Past and the Furious," Sparky and Timmy are repairing damage to the timeline. After they repair the first part, Timmy says that it's "fixed." Sparky replies with "Don't EVER say 'fixed' to a dog" while covering his groin.

hololive has a variant where the animal character is (partly) human, and is reacting to the sight of a human whose privates are in danger: During her Red Dead Redemption 2 playthrough, Gawr Gura witnesses an interrogated character being threatened with gelding explanation ("gelding" refers to the act of castrating a male horse or other animal in order to induce a quieter and gentler temper). Her response goes from confused to rightly horrified when the dialogue and actions in the game make it disturbingly clear what this means.

In Babe, Rex is acting wild for perfectly understandable reasons, but a vet, who doesn't speak dog, doesn't understand why except that a "snip-snip" will solve the problem. Because he's a stud, the Hoggets have him given an injection, instead of getting him neutered.

Robot Chicken:
One skit has Bob Barker go on a serial neutering spree, neutering animals whether they want to or not. This leads to the dogs forming a united front against Bob Barker.
Another one has Garfield on a parody of The Biggest Loser wanting to lose weight so he can lick his balls. When he does, he finds that Jon "Monday'ed" them.
Another skit has Superman take Krypto to get neutered. Let's just say that trying to perform the procedure on a defiant dog with Superman's powers isn't exactly easy, and then Krypto decided to give as good as he gets...
Mentioned in a sketch where George Jetson is mysteriously killed. One section of the sketch shows Mr. Spacely, the new Jetson patriarch, sending Elroy to his room. Astro speaks (sort of) in Elroy's defense, only to back down when Spacely threatens to neuter him.

In The Door into Summer, Daniel's tom-cat Pete is his loyal animal companion. He dates shady Belle who suggests they should neuter him as he sometimes comes home badly battered from his fights and battles. Daniel is horrified and Belle never brings this up again.

Beetlejuice turns himself into a dog ("Mom's Best Friend") and can't change back because of a restrictive collar. Taking a pair of scissors, Lydia says "I know how to fix it...we'll cut it off!" Beetlejuice shrieks in horror.

Maurice, the familiar of Thunder Dick from Slimy Underbelly, was neutered against his will at Dick's request. The cat is not happy about this, giving him even more reason to resent his master.

The cats in Tailchaser's Song regard neutering as a demeaning violation humans visit upon cats for inexplicable reasons. Hushpad, a previously energetic and affectionate female that the protagonist is in love with, becomes sluggish and aloof after having it done to her. According to the cats' legends, neutering can even make a tomcat all but indistinguishable from a female. Lord Firefoot once met an incredibly attractive fela that turned out to actually be a neutered tom. Cats like making fun of "eunuchs".

In the first Warrior Cats novel, when Rusty/Fireheart first meets the Clan cats, they warn him to leave the "Twolegs" before they have him taken to "the Cutter." Later, he meets one of his old friends named Smudge who has become fat and lethargic and concludes that he's been taken to the Cutter.

Stickin' Around: In "If It Ain't Fixed, Break It", Frank the dog runs away from Stacy's parents because they are taking him to the vet to get "fixed". Bradley calms the former down by calmly telling him why he needs to be neutered, while Stacy distracts his thoughts by saying that the vet will be like a spa, but he faints or panics whenever he sees a pair of scissors or a pipe wrench. Throughout the episode, the kids learn the importance of having a pet spayed or neutered while chasing after Frank. Frank finally goes to the vet when Stacy's parents find him sleeping with Bradley in the dumpster. However, the aftermath isn't shown but it is implied he gets lazy after the surgery.

The 2 Stupid Dogs episode "Let's Make a Right Price" ends with Bill Beaker, a blatant parody of Bob Barker, spouting the "spay and neuter your pets" thing. Little Dog overhears this and reacts by fainting.

Family Guy:
An early episode shows Brian seemingly breeding with Carter's purebred dog and Carter insists that Brian never sees her or the puppies. Brian sues for visitation rights but only gets them on the condition that he let himself be neutered. Brian is willing to accept it, but right before he goes under the knife, it turns out he isn't the father as the litter is born and the puppies all have the face of Ted Turner.
Another early episode has Brian watching an episode of The Price Is Right, with Bob Barker giving his signature support for controlling pet populations.

The Sylvester and Tweety Mysteries used this kind of joke in the episode "Fifty Karat Furball" when Tweety offers to help Sylvester get the I of Istanbul out of his stomach and tries to assure him by saying he'll be fixed in no time. Sylvester panics at the mention of "fixed", which causes Tweety to acknowledge that he used a very poor choice of words.

Justified in Inubaka. Melon has to get neutered when he marks his territory and becomes aggressive. Chizuru, not knowing what neutering means, doesn't want to take him to the vet because she's scared that his penis will be removed. After witnessing the above, she gives in and only learns more about neutering when the veterinarian tells her. After taking a quick look at Melon's crotch, she realizes that only his testicles were removed and takes him to the park to avoid being a Lazy Neutered Pet.

In Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Salem (a human warlock turned talking cat) tells Sabrina that she shouldn't kiss the guy she likes because he'll turn into a frog. She responds with: "Fine. I won't kiss Harvey. But if you're lying, I promise that you will be neutered. Slowly."
