Spay and neuter for the health of your pet.

Many people are aware of the problems of pet overpopulation, but did you know that early spaying and neutering of pets may prevent life-threatening illness? Incidence of ovarian, uterine, and breast cancers in female dogs and testicular and prostate cancers in dogs increases the longer an animal is left “intact.” In fact, spaying a female dog or cat before its first heat cycle may reduce the chance of breast cancer later in life by 30%. Also, the hormonal cycles of intact male and female animals often lead to infections of the reproductive systems, which are typically dangerous and expensive to treat. We recommend early age spay and neuter. You can come by the office or call if you would like more information about having your pet spayed or neutered.
