What Is Involved in Spaying and Neutering?
Spaying involves removing the ovaries and uterus of female pets, preventing heat cycles and related behaviors while also reducing the risk of ovarian cancer. Neutering, the removal of male pets' testes, helps decrease aggressive behavior and prevents testicular cancer. Studies have shown that spayed and neutered pets often live 18 to 23 percent longer than unaltered pets, underscoring the benefits of this important procedure.
Our team of skilled veterinarians at Merrill Animal Clinic is experienced in performing these procedures with care and precision, making it a safe and smooth process for your pet.
