Spaying
& Neutering
Spaying and neutering are crucial for the health and well-being of pets. This has a significant impact on animal behavior, health, and even longevity. It has been scientifically proven that pets who undergo this procedure tend to live longer. Perhaps, this is one of the most responsible and important decisions for a pet parent.
Neutered male dogs lived 18% longer and spayed female dogs lived 23% longer. Spayed female cats in the study lived 39% longer and neutered male cats lived 62% longer.
Additional benefits
Choosing to spay or neuter your pet brings many other benefits. It can help reduce aggression in males, prevent pet overpopulation and the need for euthanasia, lower the risk of tumors, and decrease the chances of prostate and testicular cancer. It's a simple way to enhance your pet's well-being.
Procedure description
Spaying, designed for females, involves the removal of the uterus and ovaries to prevent pregnancy. Neutering, tailored for males, includes the removal of the testicles to eliminate fertility. Despite the complexity of these procedures, our skilled team ensures a smooth process, typically completed within a few hours without the need for an overnight stay. While your pet may experience some post-surgery discomfort, our caring approach includes the provision of prescribed pain medication tailored to your pet's needs.
