ASPCA BULLETIN
Think of the Future...Spay and Neuter!
|
- Health Benefits
Spaying before the first heat greatly reduces the risk of developing mammary tumors later in life and completely eliminates the threat of ovarian and uterine cancers. Uterine infections, a common occurrence in unspayed females, can also be prevented. Neutering greatly reduces the risk of developing prostate disease and eliminates the risk of developing testicular cancer.
- Behavioral Benefits
Neutered males are less aggressive toward other males and are less interested in females in heat. This means they are less likely to roam across dangerous roads searching for a female to mate with. Spayed females also have less desire to roam and breed.
- Community Benefits
Spaying and neutering reduce the production of unwanted puppies and kittens.Many animals in todays's shelters are the results of accidental breeding.
One female cat and her offspring can produce 420,000 kittens in seven years. One female dog and her offspring can produce 67,000 puppies in six years.
Because so many of these unwanted, unloved animals inevitably end up in shelters, more than 12 million are euthanized every year.
