Spaying and Neutering your pet has many benefits. The procedure, which prevents your animals from becoming pregnant and reproducing, can help your dog or cat live a longer, healthier life. Spaying or neutering will not change your pet’s personality. By spaying your female pet, you’re protecting her against potentially deadly diseases, including bacterial infections, reproductive tract diseases, and several types of cancer. You also won’t have to worry about her going into heat. This means avoiding the mess that often accompanies the heat cycle in female dogs and the pacing and crying that happens with female cats. By neutering your pet, you’re reducing or eliminating his risk for prostate and testicular cancer, as well as sexually transmitted diseases. Neutering will also reduce or eliminate undesirable and embarrassing behavior, including roaming, fighting, humping, and spraying. In addition, spaying and neutering your pet will help control the dog and cat overpopulation problem, keeping more animals out of shelters.
