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

Help save lives through spay and neuter!

Shelter dogs

  • Each year about 3 million dogs and cats are euthanized in shelters.  Of the 3 million cats and dogs euthanized in shelters, approximately 2.4 million (80%) are healthy and treatable and could have been adopted into new homes.  Help STOP shelter overpopulation and get your animals spayed & neutered. Be part of the SOLUTION and not the PROBLEM!!!
