ALL
pets not intended for breeding should be surgically spayed/neutered for
many important reasons. In addition to improved health and behavior
resulting from this surgery, you will be doing your part to reduce
unwanted pet population. Millions of unwanted animals are euthanized each
year because good homes are limited and most pets simply cannot be adopted
out.

OTHER FACTS
- Your pet will NOT get
fat or lazy because of this surgery.
- Diet, exercise and
heredity have much more influence on the weight and attitude of your
pet.
- Surgery is
recommended by the time your pet is six months old, but it can be done
at any age.
- It is much easier on
your pet to be spayed before going through a heat cycle due to the
smaller size of reproductive tract.
- Surgery is performed
painlessly while your pet is under general anesthesia. Surgical risk
is minimal. Most pets go home the same day. Post-surgical pain is
managed with medication.
