Why Spay or Neuter Your Pet?
Spaying and neutering may not seem like they make much of a difference in cats and dogs, but the procedure can have a huge impact on your pet’s health and happiness. Here are some of the top reasons to spay or neuter your pet:
Spayed and neutered pets live longer, healthier lives.
The procedure significantly reduces the risk of life-threatening conditions like mammary cancer, uterine infections (pyometra), prostate disease, and testicular cancer, helping your pet stay healthier for years to come.
Neutering and spaying can improve behavior.
Pets who have been spayed or neutered are often calmer, less likely to roam, and less prone to aggressive tendencies. Neutered males are also far less likely to mark their territory indoors or engage in mounting behaviors that can be embarrassing at the dog park!
Preventing unwanted litters reduces pet overpopulation.
Just one accidental litter can contribute to thousands of homeless animals. By spaying or neutering your pet, you are actively helping to reduce the number of animals in shelters and giving more pets a chance at finding a loving home.
Fewer stray animals means a safer community.
Uncontrolled pet populations can lead to an increase in stray animals, who may struggle with hunger, disease, and injury. Spaying and neutering play a crucial role in reducing the number of strays and improving the overall welfare of animals in our community.
