Spaying and Neutering

I'm sure everyone knows to spay and neuter your pets because we've heard the message our whole lives. Even Bob Barker told us to "Help control the pet populations, have your pets spayed and neutered" at the end of every Price is Right show he hosted. Population control is a very important reason to have dogs and cats spayed and neutered, but there are other reasons as well. Having your dog spayed before her first heat cycle will pretty much guarantee that she will not get mammary cancer later in life.  Neutering dogs will prevent them from getting testicular cancer and also will greatly decrease their chances of having prostate problems. Neutering dogs and cats will keep them at home and not out chasing females in heat. Speaking of which, males can smell females in heat up to a mile away, and they will get out to find that female. We recommend to have your cats and dogs spayed and neutered between 5 and 6 months of age. It's the best thing for your pet!!!
