Benefits of Spaying and Neutering With Dessau Veterinary Clinic
Most know the main reason people campaign for getting pets spayed and neutered is to keep pet population down. Spaying female cats and dogs requires the veterinarian to remove the ovaries and uterus. Neutering male cats and dogs requires the Austin veterinarian to remove the testicles. Although, there are also several health and behavioral benefits to getting your pets spayed and neutered.
Top Reasons to Spay/Neuter Your Pet
Lessen Risks of Cancer: Spayed cats and dogs have a less likely chance of getting breast cancer. Breast cancer is fatal in about 90 percent of cats and 50 percent of dogs. Unneutered males have a higher risk of getting testicular cancer.
Stop the Marking: Neutered cats and dogs, when neutered at the appropriate age, (ask your Austin Vet what age would be best for your pet) are less likely to mark their territory. Keep your furniture safe, and call our vet clinic today.
Better Behavior: The aggression level in most neutered males is much lower than unneutered males. Avoid aggression problems by getting your pet neutered at an early age. Many unneutered dogs have one main goal: find a female and mate. By neutering your cat and/or dog they start to focus more on their human family and less on potential mates.
They Will Not Get Fat: An age old myth is that if your pet is spayed or neutered they will become fat. Call or come in to our veterinarian clinic and we will dispel this myth for you. An overweight pet is due to overfeeding and a lack of exercise.
