The Importance of Spaying or Neutering Your Pet
There’s a lot to appreciate about spaying and neutering. These procedures help manage overpopulation and offer meaningful benefits for your pet’s health, behavior, and overall comfort. Here are some of the main reasons we recommend them:
-
Health Benefits
Spaying and neutering lower the risk of several reproductive cancers, infections, and other conditions. For females, this includes uterine infections and mammary cancer. For males, it helps prevent testicular cancer and supports better prostate health.
-
Behavioral Benefits
Pets who are spayed or neutered are often calmer. Many show less roaming, fewer territorial behaviors, and a noticeable decrease in marking or aggression.
-
Prevent Unwanted Litters
Spaying or neutering helps decrease the number of homeless animals and reduces pressure on local shelters by preventing accidental pregnancies.
-
Supports a Longer Life
Pets who undergo these procedures often live longer, healthier lives thanks to the reduced risk of serious reproductive diseases.
The Spay or Neuter Procedure
At Leo’s Pet Care, we work hard to make your pet’s spay or neuter experience smooth and comfortable from start to finish. Your pet’s safety and well-being guide every step of the process. Here’s what you can expect:
-
Pre-Surgery Exam
Before surgery, we perform a full physical exam and any recommended pre-anesthetic testing, such as bloodwork, to confirm your pet is healthy enough for the procedure. We’ll go over any questions or concerns you may have so you feel fully prepared.
-
Anesthesia
Once we review your pet’s exam and test results, we create an anesthetic plan that focuses on effective pain control and a smooth, safe experience. Our trained team closely monitors your pet with modern equipment to keep them stable throughout the procedure.
-
Surgery
For female pets, spaying involves removing the ovaries and uterus. For male pets, neutering involves removing the testes. These surgeries are commonly performed, and we take every precaution to keep your pet comfortable and secure the entire time.
-
Recovery
After surgery, your pet rests in our recovery area under close supervision until they’re fully awake. We provide appropriate pain management and send you home with clear, simple aftercare instructions, including how to limit activity and support a calm recovery period.
