Description

Both spaying and neutering refer to the surgical sterilization of an animal under general anesthesia. This is an important step in the health of your pet as it prevents diseases and provides your cat or dog with a longer life expectancy. Spaying and neutering lower the chance of reproductive health problems like mammary cancer in cats and dogs. Neutering eliminates the risk of testicular cancer and lowers the risk of prostate problems in male dogs. Spaying is the surgical procedure for female animals. Technically known as an ovariohysterectomy, spaying removes a female’s reproductive organs. Neutering, or orchiectomy, removes the testicles from male pets and is considered a simpler surgery than a spay. The term ‘neutering’ can also, in some cases, refer to the desexing or ‘fixing’ of either gender.
