The Benefits of Spaying or Neutering Your Pet

Pet spay and neuter procedures have many benefits. One of them is reducing animal overpopulation. The ASPCA states that nearly 7.6 million animals end up in shelters each year. This large number is due to unplanned litters and limited access to spay and neuter services in certain areas of the country. Unfortunately, shelters aren’t able to adopt out all of the animals that come into their care at the same rate in which they come in. This means that some animals that are perfectly adoptable end up being euthanized instead. Opting to have your pet spayed or neutered allows you to do your part in controlling animal over population.

There are also many health and behavioral benefits to having your pet spayed or neutered, including:

  • A longer lifespan for your pet
  • A significant reduction in the incidence of mammary tumors in female pets
  • Prevention of uterine infections and uterine caner in female pets
  • Prevention of prostate issues and testicular cancer in male pets
  • Male pets are less likely to roam away from your home
  • Male pets are less likely to be aggressive, or mark their territory
