Spaying and neutering can improve your pet's quality of life and increase its lifespan.

• Spaying females not only eliminates their heat cycle but eliminates the chance of uterine infection, ovarian, or uterine cancers & greatly reduces the risk of breast cancer.
• Neutering males eliminates the possibility of testicular cancer & greatly reduces the risk of tumors of the penis & anal areas, as well as the risk of perineal hernia.
• Prostate enlargement occurs in at least 60% of all unneutered male animals which can lead to prostate tumors & infections.
• Intact male & female dogs & cats will have more of an urge to roam which increases their chances of being hit by a car, poisoned, abused, or stolen.
• What's in it for you?  Spaying and neutering help control unwanted animals from overpopulating animal shelters and it can also be of benefit to you, your home, & your family.
• Neutered male dogs & cats are less likely to mark their territory & your furniture with urine
• Unfulfilled sexual energy can cause frustration which can lead to intact animals exhibiting destructive behavior.
• Animal shelter overflow: When you choose not to spay & neuter your pet, YOU are directly contributing to the overflow of stray & unwanted animals in shelters. Even if you find homes for your puppies or kittens, that is one less home that is available to a homeless pet in an animal shelter. There are more animals born each day than there are good homes for them. The responsibility falls on every pet owner to do their part to help with this problem by spaying or neutering their pets.
