The Importance of Spaying or Neutering Your Pet
When you spay or neuter your pet, you are not only doing your pet a favor, but also your community. Spaying or neutering your pet can help alleviate behavioral issues such as aggression, fighting, roaming, or spraying in addition to eliminating their natural instinct to search for a mate. By spaying or neutering your pet, you are also preventing unwanted or surprise pregnancies, which can help reduce the population of homeless pets and the overpopulation of animals in shelters. Finally, spaying or neutering your pet can help prevent a broad range of diseases such as breast cancer, uterine infections, prostate problems, and more.
Typically, we recommend that you spay or neuter your pet when they are relatively young. Puppies are typically spayed or neutered when they are between six and nine months old, while kittens can be spayed or neutered anytime between two and five months old. Older pets can certainly be spayed or neutered as well, just talk to our team! We will help you determine the best time to spay or neuter your pet.
Benefits of spaying or neutering include:
- Reduction of unwanted behaviors
- Decreased chance of certain diseases
- Calmer pets
- Less aggressive behaviors
- No unwanted pregnancies
Spaying involves removing the uterus and ovaries from female pets, while neutering removes male pets’ testicles. Depending on your pet’s procedure, our veterinarians will help you understand how to care for your pet post-procedure, including what activities are permitted. We will be happy to answer any questions you have both before and after your pet’s spay or neuter surgery.
