Benefits of Spay and Neuter for Dogs and Cats
When and if to have your dog or cat spayed or neutered can often be confusing. Our veterinarians educate you on the best time for spay and neuter surgery for your specific breed, size and type of pet. Some dogs should undergo the surgery after they reach sexual maturity. Others may receive more medical and behavioral benefits if they undergo the surgery before they’re fully mature. Furthermore, the benefits of spay and neuter surgery are partially dependent on when they undergo the procedure. When you visit for a pre-surgical examination, we advise you on the best time to have your female cat spayed and your male dog neutered. Before we decide anything though, we’ll carefully discuss the benefits for your pet.
In females, the benefits of surgery include:
- Mammary gland tumors, which are oftentimes malignant, are less likely.
- The risk for ovarian cancer is eliminated.
- Uterine cancer is far less likely to affect your pet.
- Unwanted litters are nonexistent when surgery is timed before maturity.
- Pets are less inclined to roam the neighborhood.
- Cats do not yowl and dogs do not have menstrual cycles.
In males, the benefits of surgery include:
- The incidence of testicular cancer is eliminated.
- Prostate problems are far less likely.
- Mounting behavior is reduced.
- Urine spraying and marking behavior is reduced.
- Roaming behavior is reduced.
