Spay & Neuter
Spay & Neuter Pets in Murrieta, CA
At Meadowridge Animal Hospital, we advocate for responsible consideration of your pet’s reproductive status. We believe that spaying and neutering is the best decision for most pets and their families, promoting their best health and helping to control the pet over-population problem in our communities. For some pets, spay or neuter may not be the right choice – each pet is evaluated as an individual.
Benefits of Spaying and Neutering
- Health Benefits
Reduces or eliminates the risk of certain cancers and prevents diseases common in intact pets, including life-threatening uterine infection (pyometra) and prostatic hyperplasia.
- Improved Behavior
Neutered males are often less territorial and aggressive, generally do not engage in territorial marking if neutered before hormonal maturity, and have fewer behavioral issues that may lead to injury, including decreased roaming and aggression.
- Community Responsibility
Preventing unplanned litters helps reduce the number of homeless animals and keeps pets out of overcrowded shelters.
