Spaying & Neutering
Deciding to spay or neuter your pet may be one of the most important decisions you make because of the way it can impact their long-term health. There are many benefits to spaying and neutering your pets, including preventing unwanted litters, helping protect against some serious health problems, and reducing many of the behavioral problems associated with the mating instinct. The procedure has no effect on a pet’s intelligence or ability to learn, play, work, or hunt. Some pets tend to be better behaved following surgical removal of their ovaries or testes, making them more desirable companions.
While both spaying and neutering are major surgical procedures, they are also the most common surgeries performed by veterinarians. Just like any surgical procedure, sterilization is associated with some anesthetic and surgical risks, but the overall risk of complications is low. Consult your veterinarian about the most appropriate time to spay or neuter your pet based upon his/her breed, age, and physical condition.
