The Choice To Neuter Your Cat Or Dog (Part 2)

Proof that neutering is effective but safe is that the S.P.C.A. neuters all older cats and dogs that are adopted as a matter of course.

Many of the concerns about neutering your pet involve our own feelings on the subject. What seems to be invasive surgery for us is not viewed the same to our pets. And while there’s the instinct to reproduce in all creatures, there seems to be no problems from not actually reproducing.

Neutering your dog or cat can also prevent household problems. When in heat, pets can disturb others with mating activities and noise, can soil items with discharges or spraying, can have behavioral problems, and really are an annoyance. Neutering makes this disappear, making the pet more even tempered.

It’s encouraged to perform neutering early on, at about six months after birth. The procedure can be an overnight event or for the same day (depending on the veterinarian’s policy). There may be another visit to take out stitches. Contact your veterinarian for instructions.

While we can look at the neutering of a dog or cat with a little worry, it is a caring thing to get done for your dog or cat, allowing them to have a healthier life, and possibly a longer one.
