Support the fight against pet overpopulation.
Every year, thousands of stray and unwanted animals are euthanized in shelters across the United States. Many of these deaths are the avoidable result of owners failing to spay and neuter their pets. The unexpected offspring of these liaisons often fill shelters and are never given chances at happy, love-filled lives as beloved pets.
Spaying
Spaying is a common surgical procedure performed on female cats and dogs. The process is called an ovariectomy and involves removing the patient’s ovaries, rendering the animal incapable of reproduction. Your veterinarian will discuss the ideal timing for a spay surgery in detail, depending on your dog’s breed and size.
Benefits
This procedure has many notable benefits, including:
- Preventing unwanted pregnancies
- Eliminating the risk of ovarian and uterine tumors
- Reducing the risk of mammary cancer
- Reducing the risk of uterine infections
Neutering
Neutering is a surgical procedure performed on male pets to remove the testicles. While some smaller pets can be neutered as young as four to six months, your veterinarian may recommend delayed neutering in certain breeds of dogs.
Benefits
Neutering provides pets with many important health benefits:
- Preventing unwanted reproduction
- Reducing aggressive behavior and decreases dominant tendencies
- Reducing roaming and spraying (territory marking)
- Eliminating the risk of testicular tumors
