Why Spay or Neuter Your Pet?
Spaying (for females) and neutering (for males) offer numerous health and behavioral benefits that pets and their families alike can enjoy. Not only does spaying and neutering promote the physical and emotional health of pets, it also helps them become better family companions. Benefits granted by spaying or neutering your pet include:
Prevention of Health Issues
Spaying reduces the risk of uterine infections and mammary tumors (which are often fatally malignant in cats), while neutering prevents testicular cancer and decreases the likelihood of prostate problems.
Reduction in Unwanted Behaviors
Neutering can help curb aggression, urine-marking, and roaming tendencies, while spaying eliminates heat cycles and associated moody or aggressive behaviors in female pets.
Support of Animal Welfare
By preventing unintended litters, you’re helping reduce the number of pets in shelters and on the streets. Reducing the homeless pet population also minimizes disease transmission between pets, wildlife, and people, keeping our entire community safer and healthier.
