Why Should I Spay or Neuter My Pet?
Spaying (female) and Neutering (male) has many, many benefits.*

- Your female pet will live a longer, healthier life.
Spaying helps prevent uterine infections and breast cancer, which is fatal
in about 50 percent of dogs and 90 percent of cats. Spaying your pet before her
first heat offers the best protection from these diseases.
Neutering provides major health benefits for your male.
Besides preventing unwanted litters, neutering your male companion prevents
testicular cancer, if done before six months of age.
Your spayed female won't go into heat.
While cycles can vary, female felines usually go into heat four to five days every three weeks
during breeding season. In an effort to advertise for mates, they'll yowl and
urinate more frequently—sometimes all over the house!
Your male dog won't want to roam away from home.
An intact male will do just about anything to find a mate! That includes digging
his way under the fence and making like Houdini to escape from the house. And
once he's free to roam, he risks injury in traffic and fights with other males.
Your neutered male will be much better behaved.
Neutered cats and dogs focus their attention on their human families. On the
other hand, unneutered dogs and cats may mark their territory by spraying
strong-smelling urine all over the house. Many aggression problems can be
avoided by early neutering.
Spaying or neutering will NOT make your pet fat.
Don’t use that old excuse! Lack of exercise and overfeeding will cause your pet to
pack on the extra pounds—not neutering. Your pet will remain fit and trim as
long as you continue to provide exercise and monitor food intake.
It is highly cost-effective.
The cost of your pet's spay/neuter surgery is a lot less than the cost of having and caring for a
litter. It also beats the cost of treatment when your unneutered tom escapes and
gets into fights with the neighborhood stray!
Spaying and neutering your pet is good for the community.
Stray animals pose a real problem in many parts of the country. They can
prey on wildlife, cause car accidents, damage the local fauna and frighten
children. Spaying and neutering packs a powerful punch in reducing the number of
animals on the streets.
Your pet doesn't need to have a litter for your children to learn
about the miracle of birth.
Letting your pet produce offspring you have no intention of keeping is not a good lesson for your children—especially
when so many unwanted animals end up in shelters. There are tons of books and
videos available to teach your children about birth in a more responsible way.
Spaying and neutering helps fight pet overpopulation.
Every year, millions of cats and dogs of all ages and breeds are euthanized
or suffer as strays. These high numbers are the result of unplanned litters that
could have been prevented by spaying or neutering.
