The veterinary staff at Animal Care Clinic will urge you to have your pets spayed or neutered, as we believe these procedures to have a positive effect on your pets' health and well being. Spaying or neutering your pet can greatly reduce the following common health and behavior problems.

Common Health Problems Reduced by Spaying & Neutering Your Pets

• Over Population Even the most attentive dog or cat parent can’t always prevent unwanted litters. These unwanted puppies and kittens overpopulate local shelters.

• Mammary Tumors By having your pet spayed prior to her first heat cycle, we can greatly reduce the incidence of mammary tumors forming.

• Testicular Cancer The risk of Testicular cancer in your male pet is eliminated by having him neutered.

• Pyometra Pyometra, is a potentially life-threatening uterine infection, which can be very costly to treat. This painful infection is 100% preventable by having your female pet spayed.

• Prostatitis Prostatitis is an infection of the prostate, which causes malignant or benign swelling. The risk of this condition can be greatly reduced with early neutering.
