Yes, you read that correctly. Spaying or neutering your pet will benefit you
and your pet in a myriad of ways. Female cats and dogs will have no heat
cycles; which can be messy, nerve-wracking, and attract unwanted males of the
species. Females will also have less desire to roam, a longer life, and
decreased or eliminated risk of mammary, ovarian, and/or uterine cancers.
Neutered male cats and dogs will not destroy your house with habits like
spraying urine and marking if neutered before 6 months of age. Males will also
be less likely to roam and be injured in fights with other animals. His risk of
testicular cancer is eliminated, his life is longer, and his behavior is
significantly less aggressive.
As you can see, spaying or neutering your animal is not
harmful at all to your pet. In fact, your Fido and Fluffy will benefit greatly,
as will your community
