Spay & Neuter

Why Spay or Neuter?

As a devoted community of animal lovers, we all want what's best for our furry companions. At Walnut Grove Veterinary Hospital, we are dedicated to ensuring the health and happiness of your pets. One of the most effective ways to do this is through spaying and neutering.

 

Health Benefits

  • Reduced Risk of Illness & Cancer: Spaying eliminates the risk of uterine and ovarian cancers in females and significantly reduces the chances of mammary tumors or pyometra, a life-threatening infection of the uterus.  Neutering males can prevent testicular cancer and decrease the risk of prostate problems.

  • Longer, Happier Life: Pets that are spayed or neutered tend to live longer due to the reduced risk of certain diseases.

Behavioral Improvements

  • Decreased Aggression: Neutering male pets can reduce aggressive behaviors, making them less likely to fight with other animals.

  • Reduced Roaming: Pets often roam in search of a mate, increasing their risk of getting lost, injured, or involved in accidents. Spayed and neutered pets are less likely to wander off.

Preventing Overpopulation

  • Controlling the Pet Population: Every year, millions of unwanted animals end up in shelters, many of whom are never adopted. By spaying or neutering your pets, you help reduce the number of homeless animals.

  • Fewer Stray Animals: Spaying and neutering reduce the number of stray animals in our communities, leading to fewer cases of disease, injury, and euthanasia.

When Should You Spay or Neuter Your Pet?

Please always consult with your veterinarian to determine the best age to spay or neuter your pet.

It’s generally recommended that pets be spayed or neutered before they reach sexual maturity, around 6 months of age
