- posted: Jul. 19, 2022
It may seem exciting to have a litter of puppies or kittens, but it can also be intimidating and overwhelming. Plus, there are numerous benefits to spaying or neutering your pet. We at Bridgerland-Cache Animal Hospital in Logan, UT, Utah, know some of the reasons you should visit a veterinarian at our animal hospital to get spay or neuter services. We also provide exotic animal care services
Your Pet Will Live Longer and Healthier
By spaying your pet, you can prevent breast cancer and uterine infections, which can be hurt your pet’s health. Neutering a male cat or dog can prevent testicular cancer as well.
Female Dogs and Cats Won’t Go into Heat
During breeding season, female cats tend to go into heat. They will urinate more often and yowl to lure in male cats. Female dogs will go into heat as well. They can also exhibit some undesirable behaviors, including messy and bloody discharge. However, when cats and dogs are spayed, they won’t go into heat.
Your Pet Will Be Better Behaved
Believe it or not, neutered cats and dogs will behave better. For instance, they won’t spend a lot of their time urinating all over your house to mark their territory. Instead, they can pay more attention to you. Further, early neuter from a veterinarian at an animal hospital can help to avoid unnecessary aggression issues.
Overpopulation of Dogs and Cats Is Reduced
There are many of dogs and cats euthanized at animal shelters because the shelter can’t afford to keep them or can’t adopt them out. Many live on their own as strays. These high numbers are due to unwanted and unplanned litters of puppies and kittens that could have easily been prevented by providing spay and neuter services from a veterinarian at an animal hospital.
