Cat After Spay Colma CA

Cat and Dog Spay and Neuter Surgery in Colma, CA

When you have your female pet spayed or your male pet neutered will depend on the type, breed, and size of pet you have. Many pets receive benefits from being spayed or neutered before they’re sexually mature. Plus, you’ll have peace of mind knowing you’re not contributing to animal overpopulation. Both cats and dogs can have several litters throughout a lifetime. Still, larger breeds of dogs may benefit more by waiting to be spayed or neutered. At Colma Animal Hospital, we counsel owners in Colma and surrounding areas on cat and dog spay and neuter surgery in Colma, CA. When your pet has spay or neuter surgery with us, they’ll receive medical and behavioral benefits and we’ll send you home with detailed after-care instructions.

How Your Dog or Cat Benefits from Being Spayed or Neutered

How Your Dog or Cat Benefits from Being Spayed or Neutered

Female cats can have their first heat as young as five-months old. Having them spayed before this time reduces their chances of developing certain cancers and medical conditions. Male dogs may experience a reduction in testosterone and are less likely to engage in mounting behavior with other animals. The benefits of pet spay and neuter surgery include:

  • The incidence of mammary gland tumors is reduced in female pets.
  • Ovarian and uterine cancers are less likely to develop in female pets.
  • The chances of developing testicular cancer is eliminated in male pets.
  • Urine spraying and marking behavior is reduced in male and female pets.
  • The incidence of prostate disease is reduced in male pets.
  • Roaming behavior is reduced in male and female pets.
