We all care about our pets and want the absolute best for them.  One of the best ways to not only help protect your pet, but to help control the pet population in the future, is with a spay and neuter surgery.  This is a quick, simple, and easy surgery that can have many benefits for your pet.  Our team at Memorial Town and Country Animal Clinic, based out of Houston, TX, is dedicated to ongoing animal care and education.  Below, we have put together a list of some frequently asked questions surrounding a spay and neuter surgery for your pet. 

.

What Are Spay and Neuter Surgeries?

This is a very simple surgery that makes it impossible for your pets to have offspring.  A spaying is for a female pet, while neutering is for a male pet.  By removing key reproductive organs from your animal, you not only make it impossible to have future litters of offspring, but you can help protect your pet from dangerous diseases that can form later in life.

How Do Spay and Neuter Surgeries Help Pets?

These surgeries prevent future unwanted litters of puppies and kittens.  This can help reduce the number of homeless animals that end up in shelters.  Further, because these surgeries remove key reproductive organs, they can prevent certain diseases from forming in the organs later in life.  Spay and neuter surgeries can also prevent ovarian cancer, mammary gland cancer, uterine cancer, uterine infections, and testicular cancer. 

Are Spay and Neuter Surgeries Safe?

These are some of the most common surgeries a veterinarian will perform.  In many cases, spay and neuter surgeries are performed on young animals, but as long as your pet is healthy, these surgeries can be performed regardless of age.  This is a very simple surgery that a trained veterinarian can complete in a matter of minutes.  Because this is a very successful way to help control the pet population, spay and neuter surgeries are often a required stipulation to adopt a new pet from many animal rescues and shelters. 

Our team at Memorial Town and Country Animal Clinic, based out of Houston, TX, is passionate about helping animals.  While this certainly means helping sick and injured animals, it also includes preventive care.  Spay and neuter surgery is the perfect way to protect both your pet, as well as future pets.  If you would like to learn more about a spay and neuter surgery for your pet, be sure to reach out today by calling 713-464-4686.
