Health Benefits of
Spaying and Neutering
In males, neutering
decreases the chances of developing prostatic disease and
hernias, and eliminates the chances of developing testicular
cancer. It also reduces problems with territorial and sexual
aggression, inappropriate urination (spraying) and other
undesirable male behaviors.
In Females, spaying
decreases the incidence of breast cancer (the rate goes down to
almost zero if the spaying is done before the first heat
cycle!). It eliminates the chance of developing a serious and
potentially fatal infection of the uterus experienced by many
mature unspayed animals (pyometra). Spay surgery also eliminates
the heat cycle and associated mood swings and undesirable
behaviors, messy spotting (in dogs) and the attraction of all
available males to your yard.
Altered animals no
longer feel the need to roam to look for a mate. The result is
that they stay home and have less chance of being involved in
traumatic accidents such as being hit by a car. They also have a
much lower incidence of contracting contagious diseases, and get
into fewer fights.
The simple fact is
that spaying and neutering greatly increases the lifespan of
your pet and increases quality of life as well!
