Local Spay and Neuter Clinic in Kitchener

Spaying/Spay is the surgical procedure involving the removal of a female animal’s reproductive organs so she can no longer become pregnant. Neuter is the surgical procedure involving the removal of a male animal’s testicles so that he can no longer impregnate a female. The veterinarian performs these surgeries by administering general anesthesia to the animals, thereby preventing them from feeling any pain. An animal may experience discomfort after the surgery, but West Heights provides medication to help calm the uneasiness.

Many pet owners fail to have their pets spayed or neutered, resulting in an immense population growth that has left many animals homeless in Kitchener and across Canada. This has also created financial stress on rescue agencies, nonprofit animal shelters, and citizens who are finding ways to address this problem. We recommend that pet owners have their pets spayed or neutered as soon as possible.

Spaying and neutering can increase the lifespan of your pet and enhance its quality of life. Here are the health and behavioural benefits:

• Females will never suffer from a potentially dangerous uterine infection or uterine cancer, and are less likely to suffer from urinary tract infections and breast cancer.
• Males will never suffer from testicular cancer.
• Males are less likely to roam, act aggressively towards other males, or mark their territory with urine.
• Females won’t display the mood swings, vocalization, restlessness and other bothersome behaviour brought on by heat cycles.
• Females won’t leave the messy spotting behind, and she will not attract attention from males.
• No accidental pregnancies, so you won’t have to spend extra for the medical care of a pregnant animal and her children, or bear the responsibility of finding good homes for all of them.
• Far less expensive than the cost of having an emergency c-section, treating an infection, or raising puppies or kittens.
