Why Spay or Neuter Your Pet in North Austin and Pflugerville?
There are countless reasons to spay or neuter your pet, some of which are medical and some of which are behavioral. Above all else, however, it's important to realize that spaying or neutering your pet allows you to prevent unwanted animal litters. In this sense, having your pet fixed is doing your small part to help combat pet overpopulation, which is a very real problem in the United States and globally.
Furthermore, fixing your pet helps to reduce your pet's risk of certain types of cancers, such as mammary gland, ovarian, and uterine cancer in females and testicular cancer in males. Pets that are spayed or neutered also tend to be better behaved than those who were never fixed; they're less aggressive and males will not spray as a means of marking their territory. When your pet is spayed or neutered, he or she is also less likely to roam in an effort to find a mate. It's really a win-win situation all around.
What to Expect From the Procedure
Typically, pets are spayed or neutered around the age of 12-16 weeks. However, this may vary, so we encourage you to first bring your pet in for a recommendation. In most cases, pets can return home the same day or the next day following their surgery and will be back to their usual selves in no time.
