Spay and Neuter
Pet spay and neuter surgeries can prevent certain types of cancer, along with undesirable behaviors that arise when your pet has the urge to mate. Conditions and behaviors that can be improved or eliminated with spaying and neutering include:
Females
Unwanted pregnancies
Going into heat
Spotting
Tendency to roam
Mammary cancer
Uterine infections (pyometra)
Males
Spraying/marking in the house
Tendency to roam
Aggressive behavior
Mounting people/animals/objects
Testicular cancer
Prostate infections
Reducing the number of stray cats and dogs is one of the most important aspects of pet spaying and neutering, but your pet’s long-term health can benefit greatly.
