Health Benefits of Spaying or Neutering Your Pet

There are many benefits to having our vet perform a spay or neuter procedure on your pet. When the testes or ovaries are removed from both cats and dogs, the possibility of cancer in those organs is eliminated. Our veterinarian also recommends spay & neuter surgeries to promote calmer behavior in pets. In male cats and dogs, neutering will prevent them from searching for females in heat. Also, female cats and dogs won't go into heat when they are spayed.

Spaying or Neutering Your Pet Controls the Pet Population

We highly recommend that every client that brings their new pet to our animal hospital to get a spay or neuter procedure done as part of preventative care. There are far too many cats and dogs found in animal shelters and rescue organizations, waiting to be adopted. You can help to solve the problem of pet overpopulation by having our veterinarian spay or neuter your pet.
