Why spay/neuter your pet

• Spayed/neutered pets live longer healthier lives
• Spaying your female pet greatly reduces the risk of breast cancer and completely eliminates the threat of uterine and ovarian cancers
• Neutering your male pet prevents testicular cancer, prostate problems and helps him avoid serious problems like hernias and perennial tumors.
• Males neutered at a young age are far less likely to develop dominance or aggressive related behavior problems, including possession and food guarding, territory marking, aggression toward other dogs and inappropriate behavior.
• Neutering your male pet relieves him of the constant urge to go out in search of a female pet in heat.
• Spaying your dog or cat eliminates her heat cycle. Also females in heat often howl incessantly, develop tumors, behavioral problems, and will attract every unneutered dog in the neighborhood.
