Spaying and neutering have got a lot of benefits for a pet, whether it’s a cat or dog.

 

Benefits of Spaying or Neutering Your Pet
 

Female dogs and cats spayed early in life are less likely to have significant health problems later in life, like breast cancer and uterine infections. Your male pet’s risk of acquiring benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate gland) and testicular cancer can be reduced by neutering him. The surgery does not influence a pet’s intelligence, play, work, or hunting abilities. Some pets even behave better after the surgical removal of their ovaries or testes.

Answering Common Questions

 

What Does it Mean to “Spay”?

The fallopian tubes, uterus, and ovaries are surgically removed from a female dog or cat during an ovariohysterectomy, also known as a spay. So basically, the sterilization of female pets is referred to as spay. This prevents them from reproducing and significantly reduces the heat cycle and breeding habits.

 

What Exactly Does “Neutering” Imply?

The testes of a male dog or cat are removed during orchiectomy, sometimes known as neuter. This prevents them from reproducing and decreases or eliminates his breeding behaviour.

 

Should I Allow My Pet to Breed Before Spaying or Neutering them?

Most veterinarians advise spaying or neutering procedures before your pet’s first heat cycle, which is before the age of 7 months or so. This reduces the risk of developing breast cancer, uterine infections, and unwanted pregnancies later in life. Pregnancy at a young age also puts a lot of stress on the body of your pets, which can result in birth abnormalities, nursing issues, and critically malnourished babies. In the end, it is up to the pet’s family to decide.

 

What Are the Risks?

Spaying and neutering procedures are some of the most common operations performed by veterinarians, despite being substantial surgical procedures. Your pet will undergo a comprehensive physical examination and pre-op blood tests before the surgery to verify that they are in good health. Anaesthesia comes with risks and probable surgical complications, just like any other procedure. These dangers are extremely uncommon in general. Cats and dogs are fully sedated during spay or neuter operations and experience no discomfort. Some animals appear to be in agony afterward, but this may not be the case with pain medication.
