Pet FAQ

I've noticed small, white segmented worms in my dog's stool. What are these? Your dog has tapeworms. Tapeworms are a parasite that lives in your dog's intestines. Fleas that are ingested by your dog spread these worms. Over time they rob your pet of important nutrition so its important to have your dog treated. Flea control is important to prevent your pet from reinfestation.

Neutering Pets Produces Positive Behavior and Health Benefits
Author: Dr.Peay on Apr 01, 2004 - 12:00 AM


Current Pet News

Dogs and cats mature quickly and some may be able to reproduce when
they are as young as six months of age. There are many health and behavior
benefits in having your pet neutered or spayed.


What are some of the behavior problems seen in unneutered pets?

  • house soiling, urinating on furniture or other inappropriate places
  • persistent barking or meowing
  • urge of male dogs to "mount" people's legs
  • spraying by tomcats and strong urine odor
  • increased tendency to roam
  • aggression toward people and other animals
  • attraction of males by females in "heat"

Neutering your pet can help curb these behaviors!


What are some of the health benefits of having my pet neutered?


Female Pets:

  • Eliminates the problem and risks of pregnancy
  • Eliminates the frequent problem of cancer and infection of the uterus later in life
  • Decreases the possibility of mammary tumors

Male Pets:

  • Reduces the risk of prostate problems and testicular tumors later in life

What are some other benefits of having my pet neutered?


In addition to providing behavior and health benefits, neutering
pets is crucial to decreasing the overpopulation of unwanted dogs and cats---
approximately twenty million unwanted dogs and cats are euthanized each year.


At what age should my pet be spayed or neutered?


Currently most veterinarians recommend that you have your pet neutered
or spayed at six months of age.
