Why Spay & Neuter?

It’s good for your pet!

Behavior: An altered pet is much less likely to run away in pursuit of a mate, keeping them safe at home instead of in the road or in competition with others which will lead to fighting and possible injuries. It also eliminates mounting and territory marking in most animals. Spayed females will no longer draw males and she’ll be happier without the physical stress of a heat cycle.

Health: Males neutered before the age of 6 months have a greatly reduced risk of developing prostate tumors, infection and enlargement. Female dogs that are not spayed have a 50% chance of developing mammary tumors (spayed dogs only have a 1% risk). Spaying nearly eliminates the chance of uterine cancers and infections, which are a common cause of death for unaltered females. Without the stress of the sexual drive, your pet will have an overall healthier immune system.
