One Procedure Can Change Your Pet’s Life
Get Your Pet Fix: Understanding Spay & Neuter
Pet spaying refers to the surgical removal of part of a female pet’s reproductive system, making it so that she cannot have litters. Pet neutering, on the other hand, involves the removal of a part of a male pet’s reproductive system so that they cannot get a female pregnant. Both procedures, sometimes known as “fixing” your pet, are performed under anesthesia, ensuring that your pet experiences minimal discomfort.
Spaying and neutering offer significant health advantages that contribute to a longer, healthier life for your pet. This procedure helps prevent uterine infections and breast tumors in female pets. For males, neutering prevents testicular cancer and significantly reduces the risk of prostate problems.
Beyond health benefits, these procedures can lead to better behavior in your pets, including:
Reduced Roaming:
Neutered males are less likely to roam away from home, reducing the risk of injury and fights with other males.
Less Aggression:
Neutering males can lead to less aggressive behavior, making for a more gentle companion.
Decreased Marking and Spraying:
Both spayed females and neutered males are less likely to mark their territory with strong-smelling urine.
