Was your "New Year's Resolution" to get your furry friend spayed or neutered?
Why Spay/Neuter?
- Spaying and neutering are safe, simple surgeries that stop animals from reproducing. Females are spayed; males are neutered.
- Kittens and puppies weighing as little as two pounds can be spayed or neutered. Check with you veterinarian.
- One unneutered male can impregnate dozens of females. Therefore, it's just as important to neuter males as it is to spay females - even if you keep your pet confined or on a leash. Accidents happen when you least expect them!
- Spaying and neutering reduces or eliminates the risk of certain types of cancer that can kill your pet and are expensive to treat.
- Spaying and neutering may eliminate undesirable behaviors such as fighting, spraying, and roaming. This helps prevent injury to your pet and veterinary expenses.
- Dogs don't become less protective of their guardians or homes after being spayed or neutered.
- Neutering doesn't make your male pet less "masculine." On the contrary, it protects against male feminizing syndrome by preventing estrogen-secreting testicular tumors.
- Spaying and neutering are not unnatural, but humane and life-affirming means of ending the euthanasia of healthy adoptable pets.
- Spaying or neutering is as vital to your pet's overall well-being as routine physical examinations, good nutrition, grooming, playtime, and love.
