WHY SPAY/NEUTER?

Spay/neuter your pet-best done when young, but no matter what..must be done! Benefits for females: helps prevent uterine infections,breast cancer, won't go into heat-& prevents litters!
for males: prevents testicular cancer, won't want to roam, less aggression ,better behaved, no humping, less tendency to bite, less urine marking,  & no wailing.
Spay/ neutering is cost effective-much cheaper than taking care of a litter. Spay/neuter doesn't cause wight gain or change their personalities.
Helps fight overpopulation: 3.7 million dogs & cats euthanized each year, costing the public millions of dollars. Homeless animals far exceed the number of adopted ones and many suffer on the streets. So many healthy and loving animals are euthanized.!!
