WHY SPAY or NEUTER?
REDUCE PET OVERPOPULATION
Spaying or neutering your pet helps to reduce the pet overpopulation problem. It is important to prevent your pet from reproducing as there are not enough good homes for all the pets that are born.

Spaying eliminates the possibility of uterine or ovarian cancer
Spaying reduces incidence of breast cancer, especially if your pet is spayed before her first heat
Neutering eliminates testicular cancer
Neutering decreases the incidence of prostate disease
