Spay & Neuter in Marietta

Having your female pet spayed eliminates the risk of potentially fatal uterine infections known as pyometra and significantly reduces the risk of mammary cancer. This is especially true when a dog or cat is spayed before her first heat cycle. Neutering male pets prevents testicular cancer and reduces the risk of prostate issues. Both procedures lower the risk of endocrine disorders like diabetes.

Spaying and neutering often improve behavior, too. Neutered males are less likely to roam, mark territory, or show aggression toward other animals, and spayed females won’t experience heat cycles, making them less likely to howl or roam. These changes can make sharing your home with your pet even more enjoyable and reduce the risk of escape attempts that could lead to injury or loss.
