Q: Why is spay and neutering important?
A: There are many health benefits to spay and neutering your pet; Spaying a female greatly reduces the chances of breast cancer and the threat of uterine and ovarian cancer and uterine infection, thus your pet may live longer. Neutering a male reduces the chances of testicular tumors, hernias, abscesses, prostrate enlargement and prostate cancer later in life, thus your pet may live longer.
Additionally by spaying and neutering your pet you will be doing your part to end the pet overpopulation crisis in the United States. Every year millions of unwanted dogs, cats, puppies and kittens are euthanized because there are no homes for them.
Kittens can start having kittens at 4 months old and can have up to 4 litters a year. Puppies and Kittens can be safely fixed as soon as they reach 2-3 months old.
