Spay and Neuter Information |
|
Spaying and Neutering is an important issue. They are
both surgical procedures.
Neutering is for a male animal and is where they remove the testicles.
Spaying is done on female animals. Spaying is the removal of the uterus and
the ovaries.
Did you know
that
In 6 years, 1 female dog and its
offspring can produce over 68,000 puppies.
In 7 years, 1 female cat and its young can produce over 430,000 cats.
Over 7 million pets are euthanized each year because there are no
homes for them.
Below are just a few reasons to do it. There are many more
reasons to list
but I think you will get the point.
1. Your Pet DOES NOT need to have just one litter.
2. Once spayed/Neutered your animals are less likely to roam or stray from
home and less likely to fight with other animals.
3. Male Cats when neutered, Often stop spraying to mark territory.
4. Licensing fees are reduced when your pet is spayed/neutered
5. You can spay your pet as early as 16 weeks old.
6. Its not true that your pet will get Lazy and Obese. They will only get that
way if you overfeed them.
7. In my experiences, once they are spayed/neutered, my pets have become
more loving pets.
8. If you own a female cat or dog, They can INFACT Be spayed while they are
in heat or are pregnant.
9. By spaying/neutering your pet, it will not change their individual personality.
10. You can afford it! There are low income and some free programs that will
help with the cost. You can more readily afford to have your pet spayed/neutered
than you can afford a litter of puppies or kittens which will cost more as they grow.
