One of the more important responsibilities of a pet owner is to spay or neuter their pet. This low cost procedure can be performed by our animal clinic, Spay Neuter Express, and will provide benefits to your pet, your family, and your community.
Five Reasons to Spay or Neuter
Overall Health and Disease Prevention
Your pet will be healthier. Female pets who are not spayed are at risk for false pregnancies, mammary tumors, and other reproductive diseases. These can all lead to expensive trips to the
animal hospital, and a shorter lifespan for your pet. Unaltered male pets are also at risk for contracting reproductive related diseases.
Controlling the Pet Population
This is the only 100% certain way for a pet owner to know they are not contributing to the homeless pet epidemic. Between 6 to 8 million animals wind up in shelters every year. Half of those are destroyed because homes cannot be found for them. By spaying or neutering your pet, you ensure that your pet will not have offspring that wind up in shelters.
Controlling Your Pet’s Behavior
It is the right thing to do for your community. Your male dog will never come home pregnant, but he could leave a neighbor's dog with a batch of unwanted puppies. Your cat, left unaltered, could contribute to the community's feral population. As a pet owner, you have a responsibility to take your pet to an animal hospital or use the services of our mobile veterinarian to ensure that you are not causing strain on your community.
Reduce Aggression and Wandering
It helps curb undesirable behavior like spraying and wandering. Spaying and neutering lowers your pet's hormone levels. It is important to have our
mobile vet visit to neuter your pet young, however, in order to assure the prevention of behavior like spraying or aggression.
