Spaying and Neutering Saves Lives!
Your pet will be healthier and live longer
- prevents uterine infections and reproductive cancers in females
- prevents testicular cance and prostate problems in males
- reduces spraying behavior in cats
Your pet will still feel like a male or female
- does not change your pet’s personality
- does not change the natural instinct of protecting home & family
Your female pet won’t go into heat
- no more bleeding, crying, pacing, and attracting unwanted males
Your male pet won’t want to roam
- keeps males from wanting to fight with other dogs
Helps the community
- most dog bites to people are caused by animals that have not been fixed
Lowers the cost of a dog license in Orange County
- $24 vs. $100 if not fixed
Your purebred dog will still be a purebred
- spaying and neutering doesn’t change this
- purebred dogs still end up at shelters
- 40% of dogs impounded at OC animal shelters are chihuahuas or pit bulls
Fights pet overpopulation
- millions of cats and dogs are put do sleep in our shelters every day
- even if you plan to find homes for your pet’s babies, that means other babies will die without homes
- And what about the babies of the pets you give away or sell?
Over 13,000 animals were euthanized at OC shelters in 2010
