Benefits of Spaying and Neutering

• Spaying and neutering cats and dogs is imperative to control over population, but according to AAHA there are many other benefits:

• Spaying a female prevents heat cycles and eliminates yowling, crying, erratic behavior, and bloody vaginal discharge.

• Neutering a male reduces inappropriate behaviors, such as roaming to find a mate, marking inside your home, and fighting with other males.

• Spaying a female pet drastically slashes her risk of mammary cancer.

• Neutering a male pet eliminates his risk of testicular cancer.
