Spay and neutering surgeries
Why Spay and Neuter?
Studies show that sterilized pets live longer, happier lives. How does spaying and neutering help?
In males, it reduces the risk of prostate disease and eliminates the risk of testicular cancer.
A spayed or neutered pet is less likely to wander around the neighbourhood. This decreases the risk of traumatic injury.
Reducing risk of mammary cancer
To some extent, it helps control aggression in dogs – particularly towards other dogs
Will neutering my cat make him fat and lazy?
Neutering might reduce an animal’s activity level, but this need not result in weight gain. A healthy diet and sufficient exercise can help your pet maintain a healthy weight.
Doesn’t spaying and neutering interfere with nature?
Domesticated dogs and cats are completely dependent on humans. It’s our responsibility to make sure the number of companion animals born doesn’t exceed the number of available homes.
Should my female pet be allowed to have one litter?
There’s no reason for a female to have even one litter. It won’t make her a better companion, and it will increase the likelihood that she will develop mammary cancer. Spaying your female before she goes into heat even once greatly reduces the risk of her developing mammary cancer.
