Spaying/Neutering Your Pets

Spaying and neutering are operations performed by veterinarians that keep pets from reproducing which keeps the over population of unwanted animals being euthanized in shelters or abandoned on the streets down. Females are spayed; males are neutered.

Pets who are spayed or neutered can live longer, healthier lives. Spaying and neutering also reduces the chance of pets getting certain kinds of cancers too.

Top Reasons to Spay/Neuter your pets:
