Top 3 Benefits of Spay or Neuter for Your Pet
Our Clifton veterinary team at Valley Animal Hospital believes that as a pet owner, you reserve the right to make important decisions about your pet's well-being. We also believe that spay and neuter is a critical part of helping your animal live the healthy life it deserves. For this reason, we love to educate pet owners on the benefits of spay and neuter, and are proud to offer spay/neuter among our many other comprehensive pet wellness services.
Our Clifton Veterinarian Shares the Top 3 Benefits to Spay and Neuter Procedures
1. Increases your animal's lifespan. Studies have shown that spayed and neutered pets tend to live longer healthier lives. In cats, this can be up to 3 to 5 additional years, and in dogs, up to 1 to 3 years.
2. Prevents many diseases and unwanted behaviors. Cats and dogs who have been altered are less likely to develop certain illnesses, including ovarian or testicular cancer, and are less likely to demonstrate behavioral problems including roaming, aggression, and marking.
3. Reduces the number of unwanted animals. Every year, millions of dogs and cats are sent to shelters, and sadly, many are euthanized. Spaying and neutering helps prevent overpopulation and reduces the number of shelter animals.
As with any pet wellness service or procedure, our Clifton veterinarians are happy to answer all your questions about spay and neuter, and review any special considerations for your animal companion.
