Part of being a loving pet parent is making the right choices regarding your furry friend’s health.

While it’s normal to feel a bit nervous about sending your dog or can in for elective surgery, having them spayed or neutered is one of the best and most responsible choices you can make. 
In addition to ensuring that your pet will never contribute to the unwanted pet population, having them spayed or neutered lowers or eliminates the risk of certain health problems and can even put an end to annoying behaviors. 

Here at Animal Place Veterinary Hospital, we perform spaying and neutering in Aspen Hill and recommend these routine operations for the majority of our patients.

Reasons to Have Your Pet Spayed or Neutered

Do what is best for your pet.

Preventing unplanned pregnancies is the most obvious reason to have your pet neutered/spayed. It isn’t the only one, though. In females, spaying lowers the risk of mammary tumors and cancer. It also prevents ovarian and uterine cancers and infections. Neutering prevents testicular cancer in males while lowering the risk of prostate problems. In both sexes, neutering and spaying lower the risk of endocrine and hormone disorders. 

Altered pets are less likely to howl, yowl, roam in search of a mate, or spray.  Neutering often lowers aggressiveness in males, and spaying eliminates annoying heat cycles in females.
