Today is National World Spay Day!

National World Spay Day is aimed at encouraging and increasing awareness of the importance of spaying or neutering your pet! Spaying and neutering your animal is not only good for your own pet’s health, it also decreases the chance of any unplanned litters in the future (which is good for the environment and local animal shelters/rescues!). The risks and effects of not “fixing” your pet become greater with their age.

Unspayed female animals endure heat cycles, on occasion, every six months. After a heat cycle, the female animal is more prone to developing pyometra, which is a very serious and in most cases a life threatening infection of the uterus. Cancer of the mammary glands also increases more than a quarter if the female animal is not spayed. The risk of your female pet enduring any of these conditions decreases tremendously by spaying before a heat cycle takes place.

Unneutered males run the risk of high testosterone levels which in turn lead to aggression and behavior issues. Male cats and dogs also become more territorial by spraying either in the home or outside to let other males know of their presence. Mounting and roaming to find a potential mate are also common behavior patterns found in unneutered males.

While all of these conditions are based on breed type and the individual pet itself, there may be serious consequences to leaving your pet unaltered. We here at Town and Country prefer the pet to be at least six months of age to be spayed/neutered to allow for proper growth and development. Give us a call at (913) 937-9366) to learn more about the spaying and neutering process, as well as common risk factors of waiting to fix!

🦷February is National Pet Dental Health Month🦷

Does your dog or cat suffer from bad breath?

Did you know small breed dogs are prone to dental disease much faster than large breed dogs?

Ever heard of doggy toothbrushes or toothpaste?

Periodontal disease is the most common dental condition in dogs and cats. Periodontal disease is inflammation of gum tissue and bone that surround and support the teeth. It starts with plaque and bacteria that sticks to the tooth and in some cases that bacteria can lead to worsening disease later in life.

Dental cleaning consists of polishing and extracting teeth (if they need it) to help your pet eat and feel better, and it also helps their breath! We also utilize the use of anesthesia during these dental procedures to make it less stressful and less painful for the pet. While your pet is in our care, one of our veterinary technicians will monitor and record your pet's vitals to confirm their safety and wellbeing.

If you have questions or concerns with your pet’s dental health, call us now at (913) 937-9366 to schedule an appointment! Our team is devoted to ensuring you and your pet are happy and healthy!
