Getting Your Pet a Spay and Neuter Surgery in North Austin
Spaying and Neutering in North Austin offers many benefits to your pet and community alike. Breast cancer and uterine infections are common in female pets that are not spayed. The ASPCA estimates that breast cancer kills 50 percent of the dogs that develop it and 90 percent of cats. Male pets should be neutered shortly after they are weaned or before they reach six months of age in order to prevent testicular cancer.
Cats and dogs that are left in-tact may get pregnant or impregnate another pet if they escape their homes or fenced yards. This contributes to pet homelessness and shelter overpopulation even if the puppies and kittens are re-homed because it prevents potential adoptive families from choosing a pet in a shelter or rescue.
Neutered and spayed pets will not want to escape your home to find a mate. This helps prevent car accidents and fights between your pet and other dogs and cats. Male pets also exhibit better behavior, and they have a reduced desire to spray or mark their territory, which could include your furniture.

Spay and neuter surgeries are considered routine. This means that there is minimal risk of complication during and after the surgery. To ensure the best possible outcome for your pet, our North Austin veterinarian will provide you with pre-surgery and post-surgery instructions. During your pet's surgery pet-safe anesthesia will be used to ensure your pet's comfort, and all of your pet's vitals will be monitored.
