What is spaying and neutering and why:
Spay is what is done to a female animal to render it sterile. A spayed** pet will:
|
Not go into heat |
|
Will not spot |
|
Not have babies (Helps control pet over population) |
|
Generally be calmer |
What this means to you is that she will generally:
|
Get into fewer fights (lower incidence of injury and infectious disease), |
|
Be Friendlier, |
|
Not stray from home as often, |
|
Be less likely to get hit by a car. |
Medically, she will have a lower incidence of:
|
Breast cancer |
|
Pyometria (Infection of the uterus). |
Neuter is what is done to a male animal to render it sterile. A neutered pet will generally:
|
Be friendlier, |
|
Not stray as far from home, and |
|
Have a lower tendency to spray or mark territory. |
What this means to you is that he will generally:
|
Get into fewer fights (lower incidence of injury and infectious disease), |
|
Be less aggressive to people and other animals, |
|
Be less likely to get hit by a car, and |
|
Not have a strong urine smell. |
|
The majority of dogs hit by cars are un-neutered males |
|
The majority of dogs that bite are un-neutered males |
