There
are many medical and behavioral benefits to having your male cat or
dog neutered:
1.
Convenience To Owner
Usually
stops tomcats from spraying foul-smelling urine in the house.
Reduces
the annoying and embarrassing urge of male dogs to "mount"
children and adults legs.
Reduces
aggression against other animals.
2.
Better Health For Your Pet
Eliminates
your pet's desire to seek out a female and reduces the risks
involved with a free-roaming animal (car accidents, etc.).
Reduces
the risk of prostate problems and testicular tumors later in life.
3.
Helps Decrease The Overpopulation Problem
One
male running loose for just a few hours can impregnate many females
adding to the serious problem of unwanted puppies and kittens.
4.
Eliminates Sexual Frustration
A
male sensing a female in heat is nearby can break down doors and
jump fences in his desire to mate.
Lets
your pet relax and enjoy being a part of the family.
Myths
Neutering
will make my pet fat.
Neutering
does not make your pet fat or lazy. Too much food and not
enough exercise are the main causes of obesity.
Neutering
will take away the "guard dog" instincts.
Neutering
a dog does not reduce his ability as either a guard or watch dog.
He will still be as protective of his territory as he was before the
surgery.
Neutering
will hurt him.
Neutering
is a safe and relatively painless operation done by a licensed
veterinarian. Your pet will appreciate the freedom from sexual
frustration.
