These are the main benefits of getting your pup spayed or neutered:
Lower risk of cancer. Spaying a female pet significantly reduces the chances of developing mammary (breast) cancer, which is fatal for about half of all dogs and the vast majority of cats. Spaying before the first heat cycle occurs provides the greatest protective effect against this disease.
Prevention of uterine infections. Pyometra, a severe and potentially deadly uterine infection, is common in unspayed female pets. Spaying eliminates the risk of this painful and life-threatening condition.
Reduced risk of testicular and prostate issues. Neutering male pets prevents testicular cancer entirely and decreases the risk of prostate disease, both of which can lead to serious health complications if left untreated.
Reduction in roaming and wandering. Unneutered males and unspayed females often have a strong drive to roam in search of a mate, which increases the risk of accidents, fights, and getting lost.
Less aggressive behavior. Neutering males can reduce aggressive tendencies, particularly in dogs and cats. It decreases testosterone levels, which are linked to dominance-related aggression.
No more heat-related behavioral changes. Female pets in heat may become restless, vocal, and prone to escaping the home in search of a mate.
Fewer marking, spraying, and sanitary issues. Unneutered male cats and dogs are more likely to mark territory by spraying urine. Neutering can significantly reduce or eliminate this behavior. In addition, female cats and dogs in heat often have discharge, which can be inconvenient for pet owners to manage.
Reduced attraction of unwanted attention. Heat cycles can attract male animals, leading to an increased risk of fights and unplanned litters.
No unplanned litters. Unspayed cats who become pregnant leave humane pet owners with the additional responsibility of finding homes for their kittens. Because cats can become pregnant again in as little as two weeks after giving birth, dealing with unplanned litters can be quite unsustainable. If the kittens cannot be adequately cared for or properly rehomed, they can end up living shorter, less healthy, and considerably less happy lives. They can also grow up to produce even more unplanned litters.
