Spaying and neutering – for a happier, healthier pet in Riverview, FL
Have you decided to add a new pet to your family? Or perhaps you are wondering, “Should I neuter my male dog or male cat?” or “Should I spay my female dog or female cat?” In either case, congratulations! You have taken an important step in responsible pet ownership. Our veterinarians at Pavilion Crossing Animal Hospital in Riverview, FL, will guide you through the spaying and neutering process.
About the procedure
Spaying or ovariohysterectomy involves the removal of reproductive organs (generally ovaries and uterus) from a female dog or cat. Neutering is the removal of testicles from a male. Both procedures are performed under general anesthesia in our sterile OR suite. An overnight stay may be recommended for females if needed. When pet owners follow post-operative instructions, both male and female pets tend to recover quickly, with minimal complications.
Benefits for you and your pet
- Spaying reduces the risk of uterine infections and breast tumors.
- Neutering prevents testicular cancers and avoids some prostate problems.
- Females no longer go into heat, so you do not have to deal with frequent urination, blood spotting, or unwanted suitors in the yard.
- Males are less likely to roam and get into fights. There is a reduced tendency to mark territory or be aggressive.
- Spayed/neutered pets stay trim and healthy with proper nutrition and exercise.
- Spaying/neutering is cost-effective compared to veterinary care for a pregnant female and support of a litter.
- You are helping to control the overall problem of unwanted pets in this country, reducing shelter overpopulation and euthanization.
