Why Spay/Neuter your pets?
Spaying and neutering is good for your pet:
-
Helps dogs and cats live longer, healthier lives.
-
Can eliminate or reduce the incidence of a number of health problems that can be very difficult and expensive to treat.
-
Spaying eliminates the possibility of uterine or ovarian cancer and greatly reduces the incidence of breast cancer, particularly when your pet is spayed before her first estrous cycle.
-
Neutering eliminates testicular cancer and decreases the incidence of prostate disease.
​
Spaying and neutering is good for you:
-
Makes pets better, more affectionate companions.
-
Neutering makes them less likely to spray and mark territory.
-
Spaying a dog or cat eliminates her heat cycle. Female cats in heat can cry incessantly, show nervous behavior, and attract unwanted male animals.
-
Unsterilized animals often exhibit more behavior and temperament problems.
-
Neutering makes pets less likely to roam, run away, or get into fights.
