Spaying and neutering can have major benefits for your pet. Some of them include; reducing behavioral issues and aggression in males, lowering or preventing the risk of several (sometimes fatal) diseases and types of cancer, and decreasing undesirable sexual behaviors. Your veterinarian will be happy to discuss these benefits and many more. In addition, spaying and neutering help control the pet population by reducing the number of unwanted pets.
Spaying and neutering are surgical procedures that require your pet to be put under anesthesia. The cost of these procedures takes into account the anesthesia, your veterinary team’s time and expertise, monitoring, drapes, suture material, and hospitalization. Spaying or neutering your pet is much less expensive than feeding and caring for litters of unwanted puppies or kittens or dealing with potential pregnancy complications.
