Neutering dogs and cats has become a topic of increasing interest to many pet owners. Despite differing opinions, many veterinarians and animal protection organizations encourage pet owners to sterilize their pets because of the great benefits for health, behavior and community development. Let's explore with Sky AMC why sterilization of dogs and cats is important and the harmful effects of not doing this!

Spaying helps pets prevent many dangerous diseases such as:
• In female animals: reduces the risk of endometritis, breast cancer, ovarian cysts.
• In male animals: prevents testicular cancer, prostate problems.

Spaying at the right time helps prolong the life and improve the quality of life for pets.

Reduce Unwanted Behavior

Have you ever had trouble with dogs or cats scratching, marking territory, or even running away from home during heat?

Unneutered dogs and cats can tend to become territorial, which can cause fights with other animals. In addition, neutering helps reduce food refusal leading to weight loss and makes them calmer.

Reduce the need to roam: Unneutered dogs and cats tend to "find a mate", which causes them to wander outside and potentially get into danger.

Neutering helps limit these behaviors. Your dog will become more docile, approachable, and less stressed - especially for families with small children or living in closed spaces.

Prevent unwanted breeding

Sterilization helps reduce the number of homeless pets. Dogs and cats without birth control can breed indiscriminately, leading to homeless and abandoned litters. This is the reason why millions of pets are left on the streets, where they face hunger, disease, etc.

Save on long-term care costs

It may sound surprising, but spaying or neutering can save you a lot of money in future medical expenses. Reproductive diseases are often very expensive to treat. Plus, not having to worry about caring for unwanted offspring can give you a lot of peace of mind.

When is the right time to spay?

For female cats and dogs: from 5–6 months old, before the first heat is best.

For male dogs and cats: about 6 months old or older.

However, each pet has a different health condition, so do not hesitate to bring your pet to SKY Veterinary Hospital for a thorough examination and consultation by a doctor.
