Dog and cat castration in Gran Canaria

You’re not taking anything away, you’re giving health and quality of life.

It’s not an easy decision, but we’ll give you all the information you need to choose the best option for your pet.

It’s always recommended, but the final decision is yours.

Perhaps you think neutering will take away his “essence,” or you’re afraid his personality will change after the procedure. This is far from the truth.

We will always recommend their procedure, but we will never force you to make a decision you are not sure about.

When should you neuter your pet?

Reproductive problems

Over time, diseases can appear without warning, infections that require urgent intervention. Neutering is not just a preventative measure, it’s a recommendation based on their health.

Pyometra (life-threatening emergency)
Breast tumors (risk if sterilization is not performed)
Uterine infections
Testicular tumors
Prostate problems

Problematic behaviors

Their hormones determine certain behaviors, some of them problematic. Castration calms their anxiety.

Marking territory at home
Escapism (goes after females)
Aggression between males
Anxiety during mating season

Unwanted reproduction

If you don’t plan on having puppies, it’s the best decision.

Accidents happen, it’s not the first time you’ve found yourself dealing with an unwanted pregnancy due to a lapse in judgment.

Neutering them eliminates that uncertainty.

”Their personality will change”

False, their love, sociability, and overall energy will not change.

Only behaviors such as marking, mounting, and intrasexual aggression are neutralized in most cases.

”Castration is dangerous”

It’s a procedure that commands respect because it’s surgery, but nowadays the protocols are very strict.

In a veterinary clinic, it’s just another procedure; it’s not considered high-risk.

No one here is going to recommend something your pet doesn’t need.

In Gran Canaria, there are fewer and fewer veterinary clinics that aren’t controlled by investment funds.

Veterinary medicine should be based on what your pet needs… not on commercial objectives.

We’ve known this for over 25 years.

They can’t talk… their owners tells you their experience
