Spay & Neuter

Spay & Neuter

It is essential to your pet's health and well-being for your pet to receive an annual wellness checkup at a local veterinary hospital. These wellness visits include everything you’d expect such as vaccinations and examinations, but there is something else our veterinarian may recommend during your visit. If you’ve recently added a new furry family member to your home, you should consider having your pet spayed or neutered at South Granville Animal Hospital in Creedmoor, NC.

What Are Spaying and Neutering?

Spaying and neutering are the surgical sterilization processes for cats and dogs. Female pets are spayed, and during the procedure, the animal's ovaries and uterus are removed. Male pets are neutered, and during this process, the testicles are removed.

The Health Benefits

Having your pet spayed or neutered can benefit your pet physically. When a female pet is spayed, there is no risk of her developing uterine or breast cancer. When a male pet is neutered, there is no risk of testicular cancer.

Spaying and Neutering Helps with a Pet's Behavior

Spaying and neutering can help with your pet's behavior, making life with your pet less stressful. Female cats often yowl to attract a mate. When your cat is fixed, this won't be an issue. Female dogs menstruate, which leaves drops of blood around the home each month. If she is fixed, this won't happen.

Male cats spray to attract mates and the spray smells very strong. If the cat is fixed, he won't do this. Also, male cats will often try to escape from the home to find a mate. This can cause him to get lost or injured. Having him fixed will keep this from happening. Male dogs tend to urinate in the house to mark their territory. Having your dog fixed will put an end to this behavior. Also, many dogs tend to calm down a bit after they are fixed.
