If you are a pet owner or a person that gets news updates from social media, you probably have heard of stray cats getting euthanized or pet shelters getting full and crowded. Yes?
Pet overpopulation is on the rise in the country. When you go around your area, you will definitely find a stray dog or cat roaming around looking for food or just doing whatever that they do.
Benefits of Spaying Your Female Pets
Reproductive health issues in dogs and cats contribute as much as 50 and 90 percent, respectively. When you spay your female dog or cat, this reduces uterine infections, uterine cancers and breast cancer significantly.
This will also result into a longer lifespan of your spayed cat or dog.
Your spayed cat or dog will not go into heat. Gone are the sleepless nights when female cats howl and yell for male cats. Because you have to admit they make disturbing noises. Your spayed dog will not make a mess around your house because female dogs bleed when they are in heat.
Benefits of Neutering Your Male Pets
Like the female pets, male dogs and cats that are neutered are prevented from reproductive issues such as testicular cancer. Thus, they are more likely to live longer and healthier lives.
Unneutered dogs and cats have the tendency to roam and manifest aggressive behavior. Neutered pets are much better behaved and easier to train. There is also less incidence of marking their territory by spraying their urine all over the house. That would be a welcome benefit to any responsible pet owner.
Help In Lessening The Overpopulation Problem of Pets
For both female and male pets, opting to spay or neuter your pets will avoid unwanted litter. You have peace of mind knowing that your dog or cat will not get pregnant. And if you have a male dog or cat, you are sure that they will not have ‘accidents’ with your pets or the neighbor’s pets.
Spaying and neutering your pets is making you help in solving the overpopulation of pets in the country.
