In fact, this procedure limits the sexual ardour your pet may feel in the medium or long term. It also prevents your four-legged friend from running away, fighting or urinary marking to indicate the territory he occupies. In this way, you can considerably improve your dog's mental health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"viewer-1mggj\">Ensuring effective disease prevention<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-eoon8\">To contribute to your pet's longevity and protect it from certain diseases, you may wish to consider spaying or neutering your dog. An animal that has not been sterilised is more likely to develop various illnesses, such as tumours or disorders of the genital tract, over the course of its life. This technique helps to combat any hormonal dysfunctions, and therefore prolong your dog's life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"viewer-4sv8h\">Avoiding unwanted reproduction<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-3taar\">Do you want to prevent your pet from reproducing? We strongly recommend that you sterilise your dog. This way, your dog can live with other dogs in complete peace of mind. Thanks to this solution, you can prevent the birth of unwanted animals by ensuring an effective method of contraception for your pet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" id=\"viewer-nlv0\">Take advantage of the expertise offered by your Canisfelis veterinary practice in Ganshoren &amp; Jette.
