Why should I desex?
There are so many reasons to have your pet desexed – see below for just some of the reasons as listed by The National Desexing Network
If you have any questions or concerns about the procedure please don’t hesitate to reach out to our Veterinary Team!
Health
- Reduced risk of getting cancer or other diseases of the reproductive organs, such as testicular cancer, prostate cancer/disorders in males, and cystic ovaries, ovarian tumors, acute uterine infections and breast cancer in females, and also other diseases like mammary cancer, perianal tumors and perianal hernias.
- Females can suffer from physical and nutritional exhaustion if continually breeding.
- Pets generally live longer and healthier lives.
Behavioural
- Pets are less prone to wander, fight, and are less likely to get lost or injured.
- Reduces territorial behaviour such as spraying indoors.
- Less likely to suffer from anti-social behaviors. They become more affectionate and become better companions.
- Eliminates “heat” cycles in female cats and their efforts to get outside in search for a mate.
Cost
- Reduces the cost to the community of having to care for unwanted kittens in shelters.
- No additional food or vet bills for the offspring.
- No need to find homes for unwanted or unexpected litters of kittens.
- Save money from expensive surgeries from car accidents or fights, which are less likely to occur if your pet doesn’t roam around.
- Dumping kittens is an ethical cost, as well as being illegal and inhumane.
