What is Spaying and Neutering?

0

A female pet is spayed; a male pet is neutered. Both are surgical procedures, performed by a licensed veterinarian while the animal is under anesthesia. This prevents reproduction by the pet, but also reduces the risk of certain types of disease, such as prostate, testicular and mammary cancers and uterine infections. It also eliminates the mating drive, making pets more relaxed as companions to their humans. It helps to prevent unwanted behaviors such as urine marking territories, roaming, fighting, mounting and howling.
