The Benefits of Spaying and Neutering

Pet owners have a big responsibility to keep their pets healthy and happy. Neutering male animals means removing the testicles, while spaying involves removing the female reproductive organs (ovaries and uterus). Both operations involve the use of general anesthesia, and your pet is back to normal in a day or so. Our team at Alum Rock Animal Hospital in San Jose handles these procedures with care to help the pets in our community.

As a result, your pet will act calmer and interact with humans and animals more appropriately. It can also help reduce your pet’s anxiety or nervousness and give your pet a better overall temperament. You will save money on expensive bills in the future as well.
