Health Benefits

• Reduced Risk of Illness & Cancer: Spaying eliminates the risk of uterine and ovarian cancers in females and significantly reduces the chances of mammary tumors or pyometra, a life-threatening infection of the uterus.  Neutering males can prevent testicular cancer and decrease the risk of prostate problems.
  
  
• Longer, Happier Life: Pets that are spayed or neutered tend to live longer due to the reduced risk of certain diseases.

Behavioral Improvements

• Decreased Aggression: Neutering male pets can reduce aggressive behaviors, making them less likely to fight with other animals.
  
  
• Reduced Roaming: Pets often roam in search of a mate, increasing their risk of getting lost, injured, or involved in accidents. Spayed and neutered pets are less likely to wander off.
  
  

Preventing Overpopulation

• Controlling the Pet Population: Every year, millions of unwanted animals end up in shelters, many of whom are never adopted. By spaying or neutering your pets, you help reduce the number of homeless animals.
  
  
• Fewer Stray Animals: Spaying and neutering reduce the number of stray animals in our communities, leading to fewer cases of disease, injury, and euthanasia.
