At Arbor Ridge Pet Clinic, Dr. Shawn Hook is your trusted veterinarian in Fitchburg, WI. He and his team can handle a number of animal concerns, from vaccines to general wellness. If your furry friend has reached sexual maturity, you may worry about her reproduction and other health issues. Luckily, whether it's cats or dogs, you can bring in your pet to us for spaying or neutering.
Without getting spayed, your dog may exhibit annoying behaviors caused by hormonal surges. By getting your dog spayed, it can help lower her aggression to other animals. If you're in an area where there's a lot of stray dogs, getting your dog spayed will ensure your dog does not develop an unwanted pregnancy. Spaying can also help regulate your dog’s weight. A lack of hormonal fluctuations can make weight more manageable, which can provide relief on joints and ligaments, especially in larger dogs.
Your dog also has a better chance of living longer as removing her uterus can help prevent reproductive-related health issues. Plus, the weight regulation can also reduce stressors that can shorten or reduce the quality of life.
At Arbor Ridge Pet Clinic in WI, you have a reliable animal hospital near you that provides a range of veterinary care. To learn more about spaying your pet, don't hesitate to contact your local vet, Dr. Shawn Hook, for more information and to set up an appointment for your dog.
