Your female pet will live a longer and healthier life.
Spaying helps prevent uterine infections and breast cancer, which is fatal in about 50% of dogs and 90% of cats. Spaying your pet before her first heat offers the best protection from this disease.
Neutering provides major health benefits for your male.
Besides preventing unwanted litters, neutering your male companion prevents testicular cancer.
Your spayed female won’t go into heat.
While cycles can vary, female felines usually go into heat four to five days every three weeks during breeding season. In an effort, to advertise for mates they’ll howl and urinate more frequently – sometimes all over the house.

Your male dog won’t want to roam away from home.
An intact male will do just about anything to find a mate! That includes digging his way under the fence and making like Houdini to escape from the house. Once he’s free to roam, he risks injury in traffic and fights with other males.
Your neutered male will be much better behaved.
Neutered cats and dogs focus their attention on their human families. On the other hand, unneutered cats and dogs may mark their territory by spraying strong-smelling urine all over the house. Many aggression problems can be avoided by early neutering.
Top reasons to sterilise your pet
It is highly cost-effective
The cost of your pet’s sterilisation surgery is a lot less than the cost of having and caring for a litter. It, also, beats the cost of treatment when your unneutered boy escapes and gets into fights.
Spaying and Neutering is good for the community.
Stray animals pose a real problem in many parts of the country. They can prey on wildlife, cause car accidents, damage the local fauna and frighten children. Spaying and neutering packs a powerful punch in reducing the number of animals on the streets.
Your pet doesn’t need to have a litter for your children to learn about the miracle of birth.
Letting your pet produce offspring, you have no intention of keeping, is NOT a good lesson to your children – especially when so many unwanted animals end up in shelters. There are tons of books and videos available to teach your children about birth in a more responsible way.
Spaying and Neutering helps fight per over population.
Every year, millions of cats and dogs of all ages and breeds are euthanised or suffer on the streets as strays. These high numbers are the result of unplanned litters that could have been prevented by sterilisation.
