Why Should You Spay and Neuter Your Pets?

There are a variety of reasons why pet owners should spay and neuter all their pets. Not only is it beneficial to the overall animal population, spaying and neutering can actually be beneficial to your pet's individual health. Here are some of the many advantages of spaying and neutering your pet.

Longer, Healthier Lives- Of course spaying and neutering prevents unwanted litters of puppies and kittens, but the procedure can help your pet live a longer, healthier life. Spaying reduces the risk of breast cancer and and uterine infections, while neutering prevents testicular cancer when performed before 6 months of age or the female's first cycle.

Reduce the Risk of Runaways- A male dog who has not been neutered is much more likely to attempt an escape from your home in order to find a mate. The desire to mate can drive even obedient dogs to find clever and destructive ways to get out, and that puts them at risk of getting lost, injured, or worse.

Better Behavior- Neutered males and spayed females are much better behaved than intact ones. Neutering reduces aggressiveness and territoriality, while spaying can prevent your female from going into heat, which means less barking, yowling, and unwanted urination.

Relieve Your Pet of Stress- The mating cycle causes a great deal of stress on domestic pets, as their hormones and instincts to mate were inherited from wild animals that roamed free. Altering this biological drive to mate makes it easier on your pet to live a harmonious life with their human family, and creates a less stressful environment.

It's Financially Responsible- The cost of spaying and neutering pales in comparison to the cost of sheltering unwanted litters. Do what's responsible for your family and your community by eliminating the cost and burden of unexpected puppies and kittens.

Of course, the list of reasons to spay and neuter your pets go on and on. Please help do your part by spaying and neutering your pets at the appropriate age.
