Learn the Benefits of Spaying and Neutering
Most pet owners know that pet overpopulation is a problem. When you spay or neuter your pet, you do your part to prevent more homeless strays. Here are a few more benefits of spaying and neutering:
Health benefits
Spayed/neutered pets cut their risks for breast cancer, testicular cancer, and other tumors.
Safety benefits
Neutered pets are less tempted to roam which keeps them more safe from accidents, injuries, or infections acquired from other animals in the area.
Behavioral benefits
Prior to spaying/neutering, most dogs like to mark their territory and bark or howl frequently. They may also be more aggressive and some even fight with other dogs. Spaying and neutering while your pet is young can sometimes even prevent these problem behaviors from starting, or help eliminate them later on.
1st Pet veterinarians recommend that you spay or neuter your pet around six months of age. Older pets may be spayed or neutered at any time. Talk to your vet if you need more information about timing or age concerns.
Prepare Your Pet
Once you make an appointment to spay and neuter at any Phoenix, AZ location, our veterinary staff will give you pre-surgical instructions. The highest level of medical care, including pre-surgical bloodwork, IV fluids, pre and post-op pain medication, including local anesthetics, are all included. Throughout your pet’s procedure a highly trained Veterinary Technician stays by your pet’s side until they are fully recovered. Then, once the surgery is complete and your pet is ready to go home, you will receive post-surgical care instructions that help your pet recover comfortably and safely.
