SPAY AND NEUTER YOUR PETS!


Definition of Spay and Neuter

The procedure of removing the reproductive organs of either a male or a female animal is called neutering. Specifically, the procedure for females is called spaying. The procedure for males is called castration or altering, but is also loosely called neutering. The obvious reason spaying and neutering is so critical is to prevent unwanted, accidental pregnancies. There are many more benefits, though, that are good for the pet as well as the owner.


Good for You, Your Pet, and the Community


Prevent A Litter - It's Good for You

  • red arrow Spayed and neutered pets are better, more affectionate, companions.
  • red arrow Neutered dogs are less likely to spray and mark territory.
  • red arrow Spaying a female dog eliminates its heat cycle, which can last
       twenty-one days, twice a year, in dogs. Females in heat often cry
       incessantly, show nervous behavior, and attract unwanted male animals.
  • red arrow Spayed and neutered pets are less likely to bite. Unaltered animals often
       exhibit more behavior and temperament problems than those that have been spayed or neutered.

Prevent a Litter - It's Good for Your Pet

  • red arrow Spayed and neutered dogs live longer, healthier lives.
  • red arrow Spaying female dogs eliminates the possibility of uterine or
       ovarian cancer and greatly reduces the incidence of breast cancer.
  • red arrow Neutering male dogs reduces the incidence of prostate cancer.
  • red arrow Neutered animals are less likely to roam and fight.

Prevent A Litter - It's Good for the Community

  • red arrow Communities spend millions of dollars to control and eliminate unwanted
       animals.
  • red arrow Irresponsible breeding contributes to the problem of dog bites and attacks.
  • red arrow Animal shelters are overburdened with surplus animals.
