Spay and Neuter: Myths, Truths & Long-Term Benefits for Your Pet
Worried about spaying or neutering your pet? You're not alone. At VetPlayas, we answer your biggest questions with facts — not fear tactics.
⚖️ The Facts: What Is Spaying or Neutering?
- Spaying – Surgical removal of the ovaries/uterus in female pets
- Neutering – Surgical removal of testicles in male pets
It’s a routine, safe procedure done under full anesthesia by licensed vets — with proper pain management and short recovery time.
🧠 Myth vs. Truth: Common Misconceptions
- Myth: My pet will get fat and lazy
Truth: Weight gain comes from overfeeding, not sterilization. Diet + exercise keep them fit. - Myth: Females should have one litter before spaying
Truth: There’s no health benefit to having a litter — in fact, spaying before the first heat reduces cancer risk. - Myth: It changes their personality
Truth: Pets stay just as loving — but may be less aggressive or anxious.
