BENEFITS OF
SPAY/NEUTER FOR CATS AND DOGS |
 |
 |
- Benefits of Spaying (females):
- No heat cycles, therefore males will not be attracted
- Less desire to roam
- Risk of mammary gland tumors, ovarian and/or uterine cancer
is reduced or eliminated, especially if done before the first
heat cycle
- Reduces number of unwanted cats/kittens/dogs/puppies
- Helps dogs and cats live longer, healthier lives
- Benefits of Neutering (males):
- Reduces or eliminates risk of spraying and marking
- Less desire to roam, therefore less likely to be injured in
fights or auto accidents
- Risk of testicular cancer is eliminated, and decreases
incidence of prostate disease
- Reduces number of unwanted cats/kittens/dogs/puppies
- Decreases aggressive behavior, including dog bites
- Helps dogs and cats live longer, healthier lives
- Additional Benefits:
- Your community will also benefit. Unwanted animals are
becoming a very real concern in many places. Stray animals can
easily become a public nuisance, soiling parks and streets,
ruining shrubbery, frightening children and elderly people,
creating noise and other disturbances, causing automobile
accidents, and sometimes even killing livestock or other pets.
- The American Veterinary Medical Association
- The capture, impoundment and eventual destruction of
unwanted animals costs taxpayers and private humanitarian
agencies over a billion dollars each year. As a potential source
of rabies and other less serious diseases, they can be a public
health hazard.
