Important Health and Social Benefits

Spaying and neutering your dog or cat is not only an effective means of preventing overpopulation, but it has important health and social benefits:

Your dog or cat will live a longer, healthier life.
Spaying and neutering (removing the reproductive organs) are veterinary procedures that prevent uterine infection, malignant breast cancer and ovarian cancer in females and testicular cancer and prostate infections in males.
Your male dog won't need to roam away from home... An intact male dog in search of a mate will do just about anything to get one. If he's free to roam, he risks injury in traffic and fights with other male dogs.
and he/she will be a much better pet. Un-neutered dogs and cats may mark their territory by spraying strong-smelling urine in your home. Many aggression problems can be avoided by early neutering, and contrary to popular myth, spaying and neutering will not change your dog's or cat's personality, cause obesity or make dogs any less capable of guarding your home.
It packs a powerful punch in the fight against pet overpopulation. Each year, millions of cats and dogs of all ages and breeds are killed nationwide. These deaths are the result of unwanted litters of puppies and kittens that could have been prevented by spaying or neutering. (Source: ASPCA)

What is spaying/neutering?

Important Health and Social Benefits

What is spaying/neutering?

SPAYING: The medical term for this procedure is ovariohysterectomy. The procedure involves the removal of the ovaries and uterus from a female animal. This is an abdominal surgery performed under anesthesia by a licensed veterinarian. The health benefits for this include prevention of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer and life-threatening uterus infections. This surgery also prevents your pet from becoming pregnant so that fewer unwanted puppies and kittens are born, put in shelters and then killed if not adopted.

NEUTERING: The medical term for this procedure is orchiectomy. This applies to male pets and involves surgical removal of the testicles. A licensed veterinarian performs this while the patient is placed under general anesthesia. The health benefits for this include prevention of life-threatening prostate infections and testicular cancer. As with female dogs, this surgery prevents your pet from causing pregnancy so that fewer unwanted puppies and kittens are born, put in shelters and then killed if not adopted.
