Spaying & Neutering Benefits to Overall Pet Health
Spaying your pet has many benefits. The procedure, which prevents female animals from reproducing, can help your dog or cat live a longer, healthier life without changing your pet’s personality.
By spaying your female pet, you’re protecting her against potentially deadly diseases, including:
- Bacterial infections
- Reproductive tract diseases
- Several types of cancer
Additional benefits include:
- Avoiding the mess associated with the heat cycle in female dogs
- Avoiding the pacing and crying that occurs with the heat cycle in female cats
- Helping to control the dog and cat overpopulation problem by keeping more animals out of shelters
Neutering
Neutering prevents male animals from reproducing and can help your dog or cat live a longer, healthier life, without changing your pet’s personality.
By neutering your pet, you’re reducing or eliminating his health risk for:
- Prostate cancer
- Testicular cancer
- Sexually transmitted diseases
Neutering will also reduce or eliminate undesirable and embarrassing behavior such as:
- Roaming
- Fighting
- Humping
- Spraying
Spaying and neutering are surgical procedures that need to be performed under anesthesia. We follow strict protocols and continually monitor your pet’s vital signs to help ensure his safety.
Parasite Control
Protecting your pet from harmful parasites is an important step to overall pet health. Regular testing during wellness exams or when you suspect there is a parasite present will keep your pet happy and healthy.
