SPAYING AND NEUTERING Each year, more than 7 million dogs and cats must be put to sleep because they are unwanted. Because pet owners allow their animals to have babies they do not want to keep, there are millions MORE animals than homes to go around. The solution to this dilemma is easy: Spay or neuter your pets. Besides helping pet overpopulation, there are also health and temperament benefits to having your pet spayed or neutered. Surgically-altered pets: * Tend to live longer than un-neutered pets. * Spayed females do not suffer from uterine or ovarian cancer. * Neutering males drastically reduces chances of prostate difficulties. * Netuered pets are more loving and better tempered. * Neutered cats are less likely to mark or spray their territory. * Spayed females do not experience messy heat cycles. * Neutered pets are less likely to bite. * Neutered males are less likely to run away or fight.
