Spay and Neuter
It is a common practice for young dogs and cats to get spayed or neutered.
These procedures remove female and male reproductive organs,
making them unable to reproduce.
“Spayed” refers to this process for females, while “neutered” is for males.
These procedures are encouraged in dogs and cats between 5 and 9 months old
(talk to your veterinarian about your specific pet).
There are many benefits for the community and the pet.

Why Should I Get My Pet Spayed or Neutered?
Getting your pet spayed or neutered can have long-term health benefits. In females, getting spayed can reduce the likelihood of breast and reproductive tract tumors. This can eliminate the risk of mammary, uterine, and ovarian cancer. The procedure can also prevent pregnancy-related complications.
In males, getting neutered can prevent prostate problems like prostatic hypertrophy, infections, hernias, and testicular cancer.
There are also behavioral benefits to having your pet spayed or neutered. Removing sexual reproductive organs significantly impacts an animal’s desires and motivations.
For instance, when female cats enter heat (their mating cycle), they may yowl loudly and urinate in undesirable areas. After being spayed, these behaviors won’t occur. Another example occurs in male dogs, who may be more aggressive and participate in mounting behaviors.
Another benefit to having your pet spayed or neutered is its impact on the community. This procedure has a prominent effect on pet overpopulation, reducing the amount of homeless and unwanted puppies and kittens.
