The Dangers of Not Spaying or Neutering Your Pet

You may not know it, but choosing not to spay or neuter your pet can leave them more susceptible to many health problems. • Female cats are more susceptible to mammary cancer, uterine and ovary cancer, and pyometra. • Male cats are more susceptible to testicular cancer and wounds from fighting other aggressive males. • All cats are more susceptible to feline leukemia and feline HIV. • Non-neutered dogs are vulnerable to testicular or prostate cancer. Neutering helps greatly reduce the risk of perineal hernias, and penile tumors, too. • Female dogs that are spayed are less likely to get mammary cancer. • Dog spaying prevents ovarian and uterine tumors, and prevents uterine infections, too. If you spay or neuter your pet, they'll have a healthier, happier life, and many serious medical conditions can be prevented.
