Biffle’s News You Can Use – Why Spay and Neuter Your Pets?

Pet overpopulation is a serious problem across the country. There are too many pets and not enough homes. Help end pet overpopulation by spaying and neutering your pets. It’s good for your pet and your family in many ways:

1. Spaying/neutering helps dogs and cats live longer, healthier lives by eliminating or reducing the incidence of a number of health problems that can be very difficult and/or expensive to treat.

2. It's better to spay your female pet before she goes into heat for the first time. This reduces the risk of breast cancer and eliminates the risk of uterine and ovarian cancer in your dog.

3. Neutered males will not develop testicular cancer and their risk for developing prostate cancer is greatly reduced.

4. Spayed/neutered pets are, typically, better behaved and more calm and affectionate than those that are not spayed/neutered.

5. Male cats are less likely to spray urine and mark their territory, especially if neutered prior to developing this habit.

6. Spaying a dog or cat eliminates her heat cycle, thereby eliminating regular bleeding, and the incessant crying and nervous behavior that often accompanies the heat cycle.

7. Neutering decreases and animal's desire to escape and wander the neighborhood in search of a mate. This decreases the risk of fights, death caused by getting hit by cars, and lost or stolen pets.

8. Spaying keeps unwelcome male animals away
