What Is Spaying and Neutering?
Spaying and neutering are surgical procedures designed to prevent pets from reproducing. Spaying involves the removal of the ovaries and uterus in female pets, while neutering is the removal of the testicles in male pets. These procedures are performed under general anesthesia, with advanced monitoring to ensure your pet’s safety and minimize any potential risks.
Benefits of Spaying and Neutering
Spaying and neutering offer several important health, behavioral, and societal benefits for pets and their families:
Health Benefits
- Spaying female pets eliminates the risk of uterine infections and ovarian cysts.
- Significantly reduces the risk of mammary tumors and malignant breast cancer in females.
- Neutering male pets prevents testicular cancer.
- Reduces the risk of prostate problems and certain types of tumors in males.
Behavioral Benefits
- Reduces roaming behaviors in search of a mate, which can lower the risk of injuries or accidents.
- Minimizes marking behaviors and aggression in male pets.
