Why desexing is recommend?

Unwanted pregnancies

Desexing is recommeded to prevent unwanted pregnancies in female. This is especially important for cats and dogs. Desexing automatically stops the cycles and the associated bleeding and attention from male.

Undesirable behaviour

Castration helps to control male dominance aggression problems and also reduces their wandering instincts if a female in the neighbourhood is on heat.

Male has a tendency to roam and fight with others which can lead to other medical implications such as cat bite abscesses.

Significant medical reasons

Spaying reduces the risk of mammary tumours (which can be life threatening – just like breast cancer in women). Tumours of the ovaries, uterus and cervix and pyometra, a gross infection of the uterus, can also be prevented.

Castration reduces the risk of prostatic disease, perianal tumours, and eliminates the risk of testicular cancers.

Desexing may also be recommended in your pet to prevent hereditary diseases being passed on, or for treatment of some diseases such as prostatic hypertrophy or pyometra.
