Spaying / Neutering

Spaying and neutering your pet can be done as early as 5 months.

Spaying or neutering provides long term health benefits for your dog and cat. Studies show that spaying your female cat or dog highly decreases the chance of developing mammary cancer, pyometra and uterine infections later in life. Studies also show that neutered male cats and dogs are no longer at risk of testicular cancer or infections.

However, spaying and neutering your pets is very important, not only for their health but it also saves you money by preventing diseases.

Prevent Pyometra in your female pets:

Pyometra is a disease of the uterus most commonly seen in female dogs but also seen in female cats. The uterus with pyometra swells dramatically and is filled with pus, bacteria, dying tissue, and toxins. Without treatment, the dog is expected to die.

Pyometra is an important disease to be aware of for any dog owner because of the sudden nature of the disease and the deadly consequences if left untreated.

If you still decide against spaying, be familiar with the signs of pyometra link, which include loss of appetite, lethargy, vomiting, excessive thirst and urination, marked vaginal discharge.

Neutering

Neutering a male cat is an excellent step to help your young man grow into a loving, well-adapted household citizen. The main reason to neuter a male cat is to reduce the roaming, fighting, and urine marking.

There are several health benefits to neutering:

Can help with hormone-related behaviors, including urine marking in your house,
Reduced aggression toward other male cats or dogs, territorial aggression, and escape-oriented behavior in order to roam.
Other health benefits of neutering include the prevention of certain types of hernias and tumors of the testicles, and prostate cancer.
Excessive preputial discharge is also reduced by neutering.

What is Tail Docking?

There are over fifty breeds of dog, which have had their tails docked, since the inception of the breed. Tails are normally docked at 2 to 5 days of age with mild anesthetic being used. When carried out correctly, the procedure causes no more than momentary discomfort since the neonate puppy does not have a fully developed nervous system.
