These procedures help prevent unexpected puppies or kittens for both sexes, but did you know there are other health benefits for your pet? For female pets, spaying can help prevent certain cancers and pyometra—a life-threatening uterine infection. For male pets, neutering can also help prevent certain cancers and prostate issues. Choosing to spay your female pet eliminates messy heat cycles and prevents unwanted attention from male pets.
Similarly, neutering males not only curbs their urge to roam, decreasing the risk of accidents and fights, but also minimizes territorial marking and aggressive behaviors.
Emergency surgery for pyometra, caring for unexpected puppies or kittens, and even buying extra cleaning supplies for marking mishaps can be far more expensive than the one-time cost of spaying or neutering your pet.
It's a wise investment that keeps your wallet and furry friend happier in the long run! When you call or book your appointment online, you will schedule a wellness check for your pet. At that appointment, you will discuss spaying or neutering your pet. If you decide that it is the right time for them to have this procedure, our team will provide you with pre-surgery instructions such as potentially advising you to withhold food and water from your pet the night before their surgery to minimize risks.
