Spay and Neuter from a Veterinarian Near You at Our Animal Hospital

In today's world, overpopulation in the world of animals continues to be a crisis with so many unwanted litters ending up in animal shelters, putting a strain on the shelter's ability to care for those innocent animals. The solution is not one to be encouraged, as thousands of animals are euthanized every year. At Fox Hills Animal Hospital, our Culver City, CA, team does its part by providing pet surgery near you, which includes spaying and neutering. Pet owners who have unaltered pets can take advantage of the services available at our animal hospital to avoid bringing yet another unwanted litter into the world.

Benefits of Spaying and Neutering

Behavior

Anyone who has or has had an unaltered dog or cat, for example, understands the behavioral issues the pet will exhibit. These issues can result in continuous vocalizing, marking furniture, clothing, tires, plants, and just about anything else within reach with a very smelly spray.

For pets allowed outdoor access, the heat cycle is a prime time for females to entice males to their location. Some will stay close to their home base, while others may venture further, which puts her in harm's way to traffic, dogs, and other animals.

Male pets with outdoor freedom will use their keen sense of smell to hone in on the scent of a pheromone given off by a female. The strong scent causes a male to go on the hunt for the source, which, like females on the roam, will put him in danger.

Health

There are health reasons for having your pet spayed or neutered by our veterinarian. These include the prevention of medical issues, such as testicular cancer and prostate cancer in canines and ovarian, uterine, or breast cancer in felines. By eliminating and reducing the likelihood of your pet experiencing these conditions, it supports a healthier and longer lifetime.
