We recommend that everyone considers spaying
or neutering
their pet.  While the
procedure primarily prevents unwanted litters, it also offers several life-long
health benefits to pets.  Here are just a
few benefits that spaying or neutering can offer.
5 Reasons to Spay or Neuter Your Pet:

  • Life Expectancy – Spaying your female pet before her first heat helps prevent
    uterine infections and breast cancer.
     
    Neutering also prevents testicular cancer in males if done before they
    reach six months old.
  • Heat – Female cats will go into heat 4-5 days every three weeks during
    breeding season.
      Spaying your cat will
    avoid many of the side effects associated with cats in heat, including yowling
    and urinating all over the house.
  • Safety – Neutering will keep your pet from roaming to find a mate and
    risking injury.
  • Behavior – Unneutered dogs and cats may mark their territory by spraying
    strong-smelling urine around the house.
     
    This aggression can be avoided by early neutering.
  • Strays – Stay animals are a serious problem in many parts of the country.  Spaying and neutering your pet can help
    reduce the number of animals on the streets.
