Benefits of Having Your Pet Neutered or Spayed
When you first bring home your new pet, one of the best ways to give them a healthy start is to spay or neuter them.
Spaying and neutering significantly lowers the chance of reproductive health problems:
- Heat cycles begin around 6 months of age, are usually twice a year for dogs, and can result in many unwanted behavioral changes including possible aggression. A dog’s heat can last anywhere between 3 to 6 weeks and there may be no discharge.
- Cats generally go in and out of heat every three weeks between March and October and there may be no discharge.
- Studies show that spayed/neutered pets, on average, live longer.
- Spaying eliminates the risk of ovarian and uterine cancer and pyometra (life-threatening infection of the uterus) in dogs and cats.
- Spaying reduces the risk of mammary cancer in cats and dogs.
- Neutering eliminates the risk of testicular cancer in all species and lowers the risk of prostate in male dogs.
Spaying and neutering also prevent accidental pregnancies:
- Pregnancy is hard on the mom physically. Prenatal care and birth complications can be costly.
- The care of puppies and kittens is hard and time-consuming work. They need constant care from birth to 8 weeks of age and can be quite expensive.
Dr. Piper recommends spaying or neutering at 6 months of age.
Note that we require your pet be at least 5 pounds in order to have the surgery.
Please ask for a detailed estimate.
We require a $60.00 deposit at the time of scheduling your pet’s spay or neuter.
The surgery will require that your pet be in our clinic all day and recovery will last 10 to 14 days.
