Whether you’ve recently added a brand-new puppy or kitten to your family or adopted an older pet, having them spayed or neutered is one of the most responsible things you can do as a pet parent.
In addition to ensuring that your new companion will not contribute to the already overwhelming number of unwanted pets in shelters and on the streets, these routine operations provide numerous health and behavioral benefits. At Coastal Animal Medical Center, we perform spay and neuter surgeries for dogs and cats in Lakewood Ranch and throughout the Bradenton area, and we can recommend these procedures for most of our patients.
Reasons to Have Your Pet Spayed or Neutered
Because spaying and neutering remove pets’ reproductive organs, the most widely recognized benefit is preventing unwanted puppies and kitties. However, these procedures do so much more. In males, neutering eliminates the risk of testicular cancer and can prevent prostate problems. And in females, spaying eliminates the risk of ovarian cancer while decreasing the risk of uterine cancer, pyometra, and mammary tumors/cancer. Spaying eliminates annoying heat cycles, too.
These procedures can help lower the occurrence of hormonal and endocrine disorders, including diabetes, in both sexes. Having a pet spayed or neutered may also reduce aggression, spraying, yowling, and roaming in search of a mate.
