Importance of Spaying and Neutering Your Pet

Spaying or neutering your cat or dog brings numerous behavioral, medical, and financial benefits. Ready to sterilize your pets? There is no better animal hospital to spay or neuter your pets than Best Care Animal Hospital, serving Houston, Spring, and Tomball, TX.

Here are the benefits you will accrue by spaying and neutering your pets.

Limiting the Homeless Pet Population

If you want a natural birth control method to prevent unwanted litters, consider spaying and neutering your pets. This saves you the cost of taking care of pets that you don’t need.

Medical Benefits

Neutering male pets eliminates the risk of testicular cancer. On the other hand, spaying your female pets reduces the chances of urinary tract infections (UTIs) and ovarian and uterine cancer. This results in pets that live healthy and long lives. It also saves you the medical costs of treating these conditions.

Behavioral Benefits

Sterilizing your pets isn’t all about controlling their population. It yields numerous behavioral benefits, including:

• Spayed pets won’t go on heat: Female cats go into heat for about three to five days every three weeks during the breeding season. Female dogs go on heat for about three weeks during their 6-month heat cycle. When females are on heat, they attract males to your home and yowl incessantly.
• Neutered males won’t roam away from home: An intact male will do anything to get a mating partner. That includes escaping your home to look for mates. In the process, pets risk injury and infections.
• Reduces unwanted breeding behavior: Neutered pets won’t urinate around your home to mark territories. They are also generally less aggressive and won’t fight other males.
• It’s cost-effective: The amount you spend on spaying and neutering your pets is far much less than the cost of raising an unwanted litter.
