Why Spay and Neuter?
Spaying and neutering your pet is an important part of responsible pet ownership. These procedures prevent reproductive issues and contribute to a healthier, happier life for your pet. Some of the key benefits include:
- Health Benefits: Neutering male pets can prevent testicular cancer, while spaying female pets reduces the risk of uterine infections and breast cancer.
- Behavioral Improvements: Dog neutering can help reduce aggressive behavior, roaming tendencies, and inappropriate marking.
- Population Control: Spaying and neutering prevent the birth of unwanted litters, reducing the number of stray animals in shelters.
