The Importance of Spaying and Neutering Your Pet

Our veterinarian at Amigo Animal Hospital understands that your pet means the world to you. He or she is more than just a friend but truly a member of your family. That is why we offer a variety of veterinary services to help you keep your furry family members happy and healthy. We even provide spaying and neutering procedures to benefit you and your pet in several ways. If you live in Westminster, Seal Beach, Huntington Beach, or the surrounding area, contact us today to schedule a consultation with our vet.

Prevent Unwanted Litters 

Do your part to reduce the number of unwanted dogs and cats that end up in animal shelters. Animal shelters fill up quickly with unwanted puppies and kitties. These shelters, unfortunately, cannot hold them all, and not all of them find forever homes. Spaying or neutering your pet will prevent unwanted litters from entering an already overtaxed shelter system. Less competition for the animals who are already in the shelter will help them find their new forever homes.

Reduce Unwanted Behaviors 

Another benefit of choosing our spay and neuter service for your pet is to reduce certain unwanted behaviors. Neutered males tend to be calmer and less aggressive. Neutered males tend to get along better with other animals. Spayed females will not go into heat, so you don't have to deal with the yowling and other unpleasant issues associated with going into heat. With either gender, your pet will stay closer to home when it is outside rather than trying to roam. This is because he or she will no longer be looking for a mate.

Spaying and Neutering Services at Amigo Animal Hospital

A spay or neuter procedure for your pet can benefit everyone, especially since your pet is more likely to live a longer, healthier life. You are also helping the animal shelters that just don't have the room or means to house all of the extra animals. If you live in Westminster, Huntington Beach, Seal Beach, or the surrounding area, call our team today at 714-894-5558 to schedule an appointment with our veterinarian.
