Reasons to Sterilize Your Dogs and Cats

Sterilization involves surgical removal of reproductive organs from pets, impacting both their health and behavior in the following ways:

  1. Animal Population Control:
    • It aids in decreasing the population of stray animals, reducing instances of abandonment, hunger, illness, and death.
    • It prevents pets from biting people, thereby curbing the potential spread of various diseases.
  1. Health:
    • Female:
      • The risks of mammary tumors, metritis, pyometra, and ovarian cysts will be minimized.
      • Reproductive system infections will be prevented.
    • Male:
      • The risks of testicular tumors and benign prostatic hyperplasia will be minimized.
  1. Behavior:
    • Female:
      • They will experience milder symptoms of estrus, seek out males less frequently, and experience reduced irritation.
    • Male:
      • They will show less aggression, reduced tendencies to chase, bite, bark, and run away, as well as improved urinary habits.
      • The need to breed or mount other animals will be reduced.
  1. Lifespan:
    • Sterilized pets typically have extended lifespans.
  1. Expenses:
    • Save on medical expenses and prevent health issues.

Precaution:

  • Opt for a vet clinic or animal hospital with high standards and experienced veterinarians.
