Why Spaying and Neutering Is a Smart Choice for Your Pet
At Animal Care at Rishon LeTziyon, we understand how much your furry friends mean to you. Spaying and neutering are not just routine procedures; they are crucial steps in ensuring your pet’s long-term health, improving their behavior, and even making life at home more harmonious.
The Health Benefits of Spaying & Neutering
For female pets, spaying significantly reduces the risk of life-threatening conditions like:
- Pyometra: A dangerous uterine infection commonly affecting unspayed female dogs as they age. While exact percentages vary, the risk increases substantially after 8 years.
- Mammary Gland Tumors: Early spaying drastically lowers the chances of developing these tumors, which are often malignant.
For male pets, neutering helps prevent:
- Prostate Issues: Including inflammation and enlargement that can lead to urinary problems.
- Testicular Cancer: A common issue in older, unneutered males.
Neutering may also reduce certain unwanted behaviors, such as marking or aggression. However, it’s important to note that behavioral changes are not guaranteed and depend on various factors, including the individual pet’s temperament and environment.
Addressing Common Concerns About the Procedure
We know surgery can be a source of worry for pet owners. That’s why we:
- Use modern gas anesthesia, the same standard used in human medicine, to ensure a safe and controlled experience.
- Perform minimally invasive techniques, reducing discomfort and promoting faster recovery.
- Provide a comprehensive pre-surgery evaluation, including blood tests, to ensure your pet is in the best possible condition for the procedure.
Most pets go home the same day and resume normal activities quickly, thanks to our careful approach.
Spaying & Neutering: It’s Not Just About Health
Behavioral benefits include:
- For Cats: Neutered male cats are less likely to spray or fight, and spayed females won’t go into heat, sparing you endless vocalization.
- For Dogs: Spaying prevents false pregnancies and related complications like mastitis. Neutering may help manage certain behaviors, such as roaming or aggression, but results can vary depending on the individual dog.
Spaying and neutering also contribute to reducing overpopulation, preventing unwanted litters, and giving every pet a better chance at a loving home.
