Spay & Neuter

Spaying female pets eliminates the risk of potentially fatal uterine infections and greatly reduces the chance of mammary cancer, especially when performed before the first heat cycle. Neutering male pets prevents testicular cancer and lowers the risk of prostate problems. These procedures also eliminate the stress of heat cycles, prevent unwanted litters, and often reduce roaming behaviors that put pets in danger.

In addition to the medical benefits, spayed and neutered pets often display calmer, more predictable behavior. Neutered males typically show less aggression, marking, and territorial behavior, while spayed females avoid the behavioral changes associated with heat cycles. These improvements make pets easier to live with while reducing their risk of injury from fights or accidents while roaming.
