Spaying & Neutering in Cumming

Spaying a female dog or cat removes the ovaries and uterus, which eliminates the risk of pyometra — a life-threatening uterine infection — and dramatically lowers the risk of mammary cancer, especially when performed before the first heat cycle. Neutering male pets removes the testicles, eliminating testicular cancer and reducing the risk of prostate disease as they age.

Both procedures tend to calm hormone-driven behaviors that can make life at home more challenging. Intact male pets often roam, mark their territory, and show aggression toward other animals. Females in heat can be vocal, restless, and difficult to manage. Spaying and neutering address these behaviors without changing anything about your pet’s underlying personality. They’ll still be just as playful and affectionate as you know them to be.
