Why Spay or Neuter?
Spay or neutering surgery has health benefits. They will not get certain tumors, and cancers and less medical issues later in life. Collapsed Uterus can happen in any female not spayed which can cause infection and death without major expensive surgery.
It eliminates the risk of complications from pregnancy. If a C- section is needed, that can cost $700-1000. If a larger dog mates with a smaller female, the female will not be able to give birth without professional help or the puppies and the mother can die.
Altered dogs and cats are more relaxed pets because they are not driven to mate and less inclined to defend territory. They are less apt to fight with other animals. Statistics show that un-spayed females and un-neutered males dogs are the ones that bite humans the more often the dogs that are altered.
The animals are less likely to roam and less chance that they will get picked up by animal control. Most dogs picked up by the animal control are not fixed. They are less likely to get hurt, tortured injured or killed on the road.
Neutered dogs less apt to urinate in the house. Their reason for marking is reduced.
Altered cats are less likely to spray.
Altered dogs have less behavior problems
Altering does not make your pet fat or lazy. It does not spoil the animals personality. Neutered dogs do hunt and bring birds back. Fixed cats still kill mice and spayed females still are loving!
It helps by preventing unwanted litters and homeless animals. If you can find homes for all of your puppies and kittens, then someone else will not.
Over 25,000 are killed in Twin City metro shelters alone just because they were born! Over 4,000,000 of dogs and over 8,000,000 of cats are put down nationwide.
If every home, apartment, manufactured home, townhouse had 7 cats and 4 dogs, we wouldn’t have to put any dogs or cats down!
Please Spay or Neuter YOUR Pet!
