Spaying and Neutering

---

Important Reasons to Spay or Neuter Your Pet

• Spaying reduces the risk that a female dog or cat will suffer from mammary tumors and uterine cancer. It eliminates the risk of complications from pregnancy.
• Spaying reduces the number of unwanted animals.
• Neutered males are less likely to develop prostate problems or testicular cancer.
• Altered animals have fewer behavior issues.
• Altered animals are less inclined to spray or mark.
• Altered animals are less likely to roam and therefore less at risk for contracting disease, getting lost, injured or killed.
• Contrary to popular belief, altering does not spoil your pet’s personality. Nor does it make your pet overweight and lazy.
• Altered dogs and cats are often more relaxed pets because they are not driven to mate and they are less inclined to defend territory. They are less apt to fight with other animals.
