Spaying and neutering pets lead to longer, healthier lives and help reduce pet overpopulation.

• Health benefits: Prevents serious diseases like uterine infections, ovarian and breast cancer in females, and testicular and prostate issues in males.

• Behavioral benefits: Eliminates heat cycles and related behaviors in females; reduces spraying, odor, roaming, and aggression in males; often results in calmer, friendlier pets.

• Early sterilization: Safe for healthy kittens and puppies as young as 8 weeks, with faster recovery and less stress.

• Social and community benefits: Spayed/neutered pets get along better with others and help prevent the birth of unwanted litters, keeping pets out of shelters.
