Do dogs and cats that get spayed and neutered, Get their tubes tied for the procedure? I just don't see the point of removing anything from them and practically gutting the females when your animals can just get their tubes tied like humans so they won't have any puppies or kittens. Other than that you can control your animals that get railed up just like everyone else does and put diapers on the females that get their periods and if your annoyed enough, put diapers on the male cats that spray, LOL ;-).

No I'm not, I'm just asking an honest question that I don't know. It makes a lot of sence to me to get their tubes tied if anything.

However, mutilating my animal doesn't make any sense to me. Your animals doing all that stuf is how they are, it's what they are and if you don't like it, why get the animal?

Cauterizing the tubes is no longer practiced, because in some rare, extreme cases, the tubes would regrow and reconnect themselves around the cauterization.
Females have their ovaries removed and only them, where males have their testicals removed. It's a simple, clean, efficant procedure.
Also, neutering/spaying your pets lowers the risk of them wandering off/attempting to get outside/breed, and it even lowers their risk of many cancers and diseases.

When female cats and dogs are spayed, their uterus and ovaries are removed.
Male cats and dogs have their testicle removed.
If you don't want the reproductive organs to work, there is no point leaving them in there, they'll do nothing except get infected one day. This is especially common on female dogs - they are prone to pyometra (uterine infection) when they're older, which can be fatal, so there's no point taking that risk.
People get their pets spayed to avoid unwanted behaviour as well as offspring, so the ovaries/testicles have to be removed to remove the hormones. I wouldn't call spaying 'gutting' either, it's pretty complication free, unlike remaining intact. A good surgeon can also spay a cat or female dog through an incision off about 2 inches in length - or less than an inch in a cat!
As for male cats, the testicles are removed without having to enter the abdomen, they are severed from the outside by slitting the scrotum. If you wanted to tie stuff off (a vasectomy) you would have to enter the abdomen, which is far move invasive and therefore risky.
In short, 'tying stuff off' would be far more risky and pointless than the operations that are performed.

'If you don't like the animals how they are don't buy them' - that's true in the case of docking, de-clawing etc as these do not benefit the animal. Neutering however is very much for the benefit of the animal, and the animal population in general.
Just because you have a different idea doesn't make it impressive - obviously surgeons have considered tying, it's done the way it is for the REASONS DESCRIBED ABOVE!

Spaying and neutering has lot of benefits that tube tying doesn't. Tube tying obviously does not work for sterilizing males and it doesn't eliminate the behavior problems such as spraying, wandering and aggression. In females, dogs and cats still go into heat, bleed, attract males, wander off and (in cats) yowl all the time. Also, spaying and neutering eliminates reproductive cancers, pyometra, and mastitis, so animals are healthier overall.
The surgeries are actually pretty quick and simple, any vet can do it blindfolded with one hand tied behind their back. your are hardly gutting the females. The recovery times are fast - my female dog was back to her old self within a day - the hard part was getting her to take it easy.

I imagine if you wanted the tubes tied that could be done, but the females would still go into heat and the males would still display aggressive behavior. Preventing kittens is only one of the reasons for spay/neuter. If the entire organs are not removed, the hormones are still produced and the cat's behavior can become unacceptable. Besides who wants to mess with diapers on cats? Think of the expense and think of how aggravated the cat would be!
It's obvious you're not living in close proximity to cats.

You know how often people how get their tubes tied get pregnant anyway? A lot!!!! Vets fix animals its because no one wants even the possibility for the animal to have babys ever. Why mess around when it can be solved and done with once. It makes sense and only retards would not want to do the normal procedure.

Hello, good, every body does have their possess opinion, for my part, I have all of my pets spayed/neutered seeing that, in my eyes, that makes me a liable puppy proprietor, I'm no longer seeking to criticize you, that is my idea for myself. I did this seeing that I recognise that the puppy populace does exceed the human populace, and I might no longer desire any of my pets youngsters to come to be at the streets or euthanized in a safe haven seeing that of the give/call for component. I recognise that can sound merciless, however that it's how it's. There are too many pets and too few folks. Add within the hypersensitive reaction component, and there's aspect of the purpose why there are such a large amount of pets being euthanized in shelters and death at the streets, seeing that their moms and dads weren't spayed/neutered. Now please recognise that I am keen on liable puppy breeding. I consider pets will have to be bred provided that it for making improvements to the animals breed to cause them to more healthy an such. This is why I had my pets spayed/neutered, seeing that all of mine, besides one, are combined breeds and I recognise that if I desire yet another animal, I can pass to the safe haven. And my purebred isn't of exhibit-first-rate, and he additionally has a few genetic well being issues, so I might no longer desire him spreading issues to his youngsters, for this reason I had him constant. This is simply my opinion, and please don't take offense at mine or any one else's feedback, every body has their possess opinion!

Spaying and neutering remove the reproductive organs entirely. An added benefit to this is that they will never have cancer in those parts. And some breeds are highly succeptible to testicular and ovarian cancers.

Yes, they do. The procedure does not gutt them, it removes the components needed for making babies.
But an animal in heat or smelling one in heat will find a way. There are too many unwanted animals to take a chance.
