Understanding Dog and Cat Spay and Neuter Procedures
Spaying and neutering are essential surgeries to prevent pets from reproducing. A spay surgery, technically known as an ovariohysterectomy, involves the removal of a female pet's ovaries and usually the uterus. Neutering, or castration, removes the testicles of a male pet. These procedures contribute significantly to your pet's health, helping to prevent certain diseases and unwanted behaviors.
Benefits of spaying and neutering for dogs and cats include:
- Reducing or eliminating the risk of certain cancers and infections contributes to a longer, healthier life for your pet.
- Better behavior, reducing tendencies like roaming, vocalizing, marking territory, and aggression.
- Reducing the number of animals that end up in shelters, ensuring more pets find loving homes.
The health of individual pets and the greater pet community is a high priority for us. Dogs, cats, and their human families all benefit from these proactive surgeries. If you have additional questions about spaying or neutering your pet, get in touch with us today!
