Spay and Neuter from a Vet Near You at Our Animal Hospital

When you are considering a spay or neuter procedure for your dog or cat, Lakeville Animal Hospital provides reliable pet care that includes pet surgery services. Our Lakeville, MA, team can provide the pet surgery in a safe and secure environment while receiving top-quality care throughout the entire procedure. While you may not be sure if scheduling a spay or neuter procedure is appropriate for your pet, during your pet's initial examination, our vet will explain the importance of the procedure, the benefits to your pet's health, and what to expect after the procedure regarding your pet's behavior.

Importance of Spay and Neuter

Pets that are not spayed or neutered and that have contact with other unaltered pets can result in unwanted litters, which is a leading cause of overpopulation. This leads to overcrowded animal shelters, which results in euthanizing an exorbitant number of animals every year.

Health and Behavioral Benefits

Dogs and cats that have not been spayed or neutered are prone to developing serious diseases, such as urinary infections and breast cancer in female cats and dogs. Males are also susceptible to serious health conditions, such as an enlarged prostate and testicular cancer.

Behavior-wise, your pet's behavior will significantly improve once the urge to mate is removed. Females will avoid the standard "meowing and howling" to draw attention to themselves when they are experiencing the heat cycle. Spraying or marking areas and items will be less, and outside pets won't feel the need to go in search of mates in the neighborhood. When pets undergo either procedure, it promotes better health, leading to a longer and happier life.
