As part of responsible pet ownership and part of a bigger cause of responsible pet breeding, we must ensure our pets or streeties we take care of are neutered/spayed. It comes with a bunch of health benefits as well, let’s understand more & bust the myths around this, also what to expect when you go in for it.
- Health-related benefits
As our pets age, we do know it puts them at risk for several health risks but if your pet was neutered/spayed, a bunch of possible health issues they may get, can be eliminated. Especially for female pets, spaying eliminates the risk of ovarian and uterine cancers and greatly reduces the chances of developing breast tumours, which are often malignant in cats and dogs. For male pets, neutering prevents testicular cancer and reduces the risk of prostate problems. These surgeries can also help prevent life-threatening infections of the uterus, known as pyometra, in female pets.
- Behavioural Improvements
Most cases see a positive impact of neutering & spaying when it comes to behaviour specifically. Male pets, when neutered, are less likely to exhibit aggression, marking, and roaming behaviours, which can lead to accidents or altercations with other animals. Spayed female pets are free from the hormonal changes associated with heat cycles, which can lead to excessive vocalization, restlessness, and unwanted attention from male animals.
- Preventing Overpopulation
Unplanned litter is the saddest truth of what we see around us especially in streeties, also sometimes when pets have a litter, we keep one but give away the rest for adoption, but realistically do we know the future of each pup born? , do we attach responsibility for their well-being to ourselves? Possibly not, right! And it’s hard to do so. This leads to animal shelters being overwhelmed with homeless pets, many of which are a part of such unplanned litter. Also many lose their lives in the most cruel ways on the streets. We can help all of that, with making the right decision to neuter with the guidance of an expert, a veterinarian!
This would ensure those we have through planned breeding can get a loving home for sure and we can be a part of that process.
- Cost-Effective Care
It is important to find the right hospital and vet to guide you. The cost of a surgery could look steep initially but many may have hidden frills. By going to a trusted vet, you can openly discuss inclusions which usually range from pre-surgery (tests & blood work), surgery itself and post-surgery (recovery). The long-run benefits for your pet outweigh the costs of possible health threats & treatments at a later stage.
