Neutering your pet has many benefits. The procedure prevents male animals from reproducing, reduces or eliminates his risk for prostate and testicular cancer, as well decreases the risk of sexually transmitted diseases. Neutering may also reduce or eliminate undesirable and embarrassing behaviour, including roaming, fighting, humping, and spraying. Neutering, which involves removing the testicles, is a surgical procedure and does need to be performed with the pet under anesthesia. We follow strict protocols and continually monitor your pet’s vital signs to help ensure his safety. Please see the descriptions under Anesthesia and Patient Monitoring for more information on what we do to keep your pet safe.
If you are struggling with the decision of whether to neuter your pet, or wish to discuss the alternatives, you can set up a personal or telephone consultation with Dr. Saria.
