Spay and Neuter Benefits
Did you know some 9.6 million unwanted dogs and
cats are being put to death each year? Having your
pet spayed or neutered is the only way to reduce
this tragic number of unwanted dogs and cats
destroyed each year.
What are some advantages of having my pet
spayed or neutered?
Females:
No spotting during heat cycles
No false pregnancies
Decreased chance for mammary glad tumors, tumors
of the ovaries & tumors of the uterus
Less chance for uterine infections
No need for extra food during pregnancy & nursing
Less stress which decreases susceptibility to disease
Helps her live a longer & healthier life
What are some other known advantages of
having my pet spayed or neutered?
Spaying a dog or cat eliminates her heat cycle. A
heat cycle (also known as estrus) lasts and average
of six to twelve days, often twice a year, in dogs and
an average of six to seven days, three or more times
a year in cats. Females in heat can cry incessantly,
show nervous behavior and attract unwanted male
animals.
Un-altered animals often exhibit more behavior and
temperament problems than do those who have been
spayed or neutered.
Spaying and neutering can make pets less likely to
bite.
Neutering makes pets less likely to roam the
neighborhood, run away or get into fights.
Spaying and neutering makes pets better, more
affectionate companions.
Current research has shown that, in general, it is safe to
alter dogs and cats as early as eight weeks of age. We
recommend your pet be at least 4 months old before
undergoing surgery with anesthesia.
Should my female pet have a heat cycle or a
litter before being spayed?
Males:
Decreased territoriality & aggression
Decreased “Humping” inappropriate objects
Less chance for prostate enlargement, infections &
tumors
Decreased chance for perineal hernias
Less stress which decreases susceptibility to disease
Decrease in urine odor
Less tendency to mark or spray their territory
Helps him live a longer and healthier life
How old should my pet be before surgery?
What is actually done in a spay
or neuter procedure?
In both procedures, the animal is put under general anesthesia so it is not able to feel anything. A spay surgery
(also called an ovariohysterectomy) is performed on
females. While performed routinely, an ovariohysterec
tomy is a major surgery in which the reproductive tract,
including the ovaries, fallopian tubes and uterus, is
removed. Neutering refers to the castration of a male
animal. It is a surgical procedure in which both testicles
are removed.
If your pet is going to be a companion animal rather than
a breeding animal, there are no benefits to allowing her
to have a litter or to go through a heat cycle. It is actually healthier for your dog or cat never to experience a
heat cycle since it lessens the animal’s chance of getting
mammary cancer, decreases the risk of pregnancy and
deliver and the stress that goes along with it. Research
indicated dogs spayed prior to their first heat have less
than half of 1% chance of experiencing mammary cancer as compared to an 8% chance after their second heat.
Cats spayed after their first heat have a 7 times greater
chance of suffering from mammary cancer than do cats
spayed prior to their first heat.
Will spaying or neutering my pet cause it to
become fat and lazy?
No. Weight gain is due to being fed more calories than
the animal uses. Watch the quantity of food you give
your pet. Also, older pets need fewer calories than
younger ones because they tend to be less active and are
no longer growing. Regular play and exercise, along
with diet, are the keys to keeping your pet in shape.
