Neutering animals is always a cause for doubt among owners. Should I do it? Won’t it do any harm to my pet? If you are also with this doubt, know that nowadays spaying is highly recommended by veterinarians and brings much more benefits than problems for your pet.

 

The ideal is to do the spaying with your pet as a puppy, before 1 year of age, even better if it is before the first heat. The older the less benefits occur due to castration. 

Do you know when your dog or kitten gets agitated, completely nowhere to stay, sometimes even unable to sleep or eat? These are common “symptoms” when they are in heat, and this can be prevented entirely by castration. 

When you spay, you help control the animal’s behavior and also the diseases it can develop. This increased the life expectancy of pets by about 5 years.

The benefits of castration then would be:

  • – reproductive control of the animal
  • – control of aggressive behavior and agitation above normal
  • -avoid demarcation of territory (mainly in males)
  • – prevention of diseases such as cancer
  • – prolongs the life of your beloved pet.

But what about cons, what would they be? Some people pose as against the animal’s weight gain and lethargy. The truth is that the animal’s appetite can actually increase (the sooner the castration is done the less the appetite is seen), but if you control the feed given they don’t get fat and remain very healthy. 

Lethargy occurs due to the animal’s excess weight and according to its age. The older he loses his energy and becomes more quiet, but this is normal.

Neutering is highly recommended and essential for your pet’s health. Look for a veterinarian to learn more about this subject and learn about the procedures. 

This way you will be able to do the procedure safely on your pet and guarantee him the best quality of life possible!
