Q:  If you spay or neuter my pet, will he/she calm down?  Will neutering my cat help him to stop spraying everything in site?  Will my pet get fat after spaying/neutering?

 

A:  Spaying/neutering does not cause a pet to get fat or lazy.  This comes from overfeeding, normal aging changes, and poor exercise regimens.  

Personalities are not altered by spaying/neutering.  Personalities do not fully develop until 1-2 years of age.  Aggressiveness and viciousness are not the result of surgery.  Usually, personalities only get better.  

Neutering can decreases aggression—primarily towards other male dogs, but also can help in relation to people. Please be assured that if your pet does not have an aggression problem, the surgery will not serve to make him more passive.  You will not see any affect on these pets at all.

Neutering decreases urine marking and spraying!  A benefit much appreciated by everyone!
