At Mountain View Veterinary Hospital, we understand the deep bond you share with your furry companion. Spaying or neutering your pet is a responsible decision that can significantly benefit their health and well-being, while also contributing to a more controlled pet population.
Here are some of the key reasons to consider spaying or neutering your pet:
Improved Health: Spaying females eliminates the risk of uterine infections and pyometra, a serious and potentially life-threatening condition, and significantly decreases the risk of mammary cancer. Neutering males reduces the risk of testicular cancer and prostate problems.
Reduced Unwanted Behaviors: Spaying females eliminates heat cycles, which can cause roaming, marking, bloody vaginal discharge, and vocalization. Neutering males can decrease aggression, mounting behavior, and territorial marking.
Longer Lifespan: Studies have shown that spayed and neutered pets tend to live longer, healthier lives.
Reduced Pet Overpopulation: Spaying and neutering helps prevent unwanted litters, which can lead to overcrowding in shelters and euthanasia of healthy animals.
What to Expect During Your Pet's Spaying or Neutering Appointment:
Pre-operative Consultation: A thorough examination will be performed to ensure your pet’s overall health and suitability for surgery. We will discuss the procedure in detail, answer any questions you have, and obtain your consent.
Safe Anesthesia and Surgery: Your pet will receive anesthesia that is as safe as possible for your pet and administered and monitored by licensed veterinary technicians to ensure a comfortable and pain-free experience. Our experienced veterinarians will perform the minimally invasive surgical procedure using the latest techniques.
Post-operative Care: We will provide detailed instructions for caring for your pet at home during recovery. We can also schedule a follow-up appointment to monitor their healing progress.
