Spay/Neuter

Our veterinarians at First Coast Vets Affordable Animal Hospital perform spay and neuter surgeries at a low cost for the pet owners living in the First Coat area of Jacksonville. Spaying or neutering dogs and cats lowers the stray dog and feral cat population. Also, it reduced the number of unwanted puppies and kittens entering pet rescue centers and animal shelters.

Why Spay and Neuter?

There are many medical and behavioral benefits to having a fixed pet in your home. Getting your pet fixed can make everyone’s life a lot easier. Here are just a few benefits of spaying or neutering your household pet:

Benefits of Spaying (females):

• No heat cycles, therefore males will not be attracted
• Less desire to roam
• Risk of mammary gland tumors, ovarian and/or uterine cancer is reduced or eliminated, especially if done before the first heat cycle
• Reduces the number of unwanted cats/kittens/dogs/puppies
• Helps dogs and cats live longer, healthier lives

Benefits of Neutering (males):

• Reduces or eliminates risk of spraying and marking
• Less desire to roam, therefore less likely to be injured in fights or auto accidents
• Risk of testicular cancer is eliminated and decreases incidence of prostate disease
• Reduces the number of unwanted cats/kittens/dogs/puppies
• Decreases aggressive behavior, including dog bites
• Helps dogs and cats live longer, healthier lives
