Why Should You Spay or Neuter Your Pet?

Every pet owner has to contend with various choices throughout their pet’s life, including several that have to do with their health. One common choice you’ll have to make for your pet is the decision to spay or neuter. These procedures are actually among the best things you can do to help protect your pet’s health. Read on to learn more about this important medical treatment. 

Good For Health 

When it comes to your health, spaying and neutering offer undeniable advantages for your pet. Spaying female pets considerably lowers their risk of developing breast tumors or cancers, while it completely removes the chance of ovarian or uterine cancer. Likewise, male pets are protected from testicular cancer and will enjoy a lower risk of prostate cancer.

Longer Lifespan

These procedures also play a significant role in enhancing your pet’s lifespan. There are several reasons that spaying/neutering can help your pet live a longer life. Not only will it keep them from trying to escape and search for mates, it also decreases their risk of many cancers and other common health problems. Plus, spayed and neutered pets tend to have fewer behavioral issues that can be frustrating for pet owners. 

Fight Animal Overpopulation

Spaying/neutering is absolutely essential to managing the important issue of animal homelessness. When pets are not spayed or neutered, they can have multiple litters, and these animals are often unplanned and unwanted, leaving them to either fend for themselves on the street or wind up in shelters.
