Spay or Neuter Your Pet From Our Vancouver, BC Veterinarian

Being a responsible pet owner includes understanding the importance of spaying and neutering your pet. It is a smart decision not only for your pet, but it helps reduce pet overpopulation and saves more dogs and cats from being in overcrowded shelters.

Our experienced and caring Vancouver, BC veterinarian team, Dr. Ubi, Dr. Jean Hsu, and Dr. Elizabeth Kuan, can assist you and help you understand your pets spay and neuter options at Cambie Animal Hospital.

Why it is Important to Spay and Neuter Your Pet

Spaying and neutering is a common procedure that helps prevent an abundance of unwanted litters of cats and dogs. It also protects your pet against many health issues as well as behavioral problems associated with their mating instinct. Pet owners who do not wish to breed their dog or cat should definitely consider having their pet spayed or neutered.

When Should I Spay or Neuter My Pet?

Our Vancouver, BC veterinarian can best advise the proper time to spay or neuter your pet. The perfect time varies, based on your pet’s breed, age, and health. It is usually best to have female cats and dogs spayed at a young age to protect them from potential health problems such as uterine infections and breast cancer. Early neutering of male pets helps protect them from testicular cancer and issues with the prostate gland.

Although any surgical procedure is a risk, these procedures are among the most common performed on dogs and cats, and have low occurrences of complications.
