Spay & Neuter Clinics

Spaying / Neutering

Both can safely be performed at as early as 8 weeks of age, and all animals should have it done.

Animal shelters across the country are plagued with a worsening problem: How to handle the overpopulation of dogs and cats that they cannot find homes for? Roughly 3.7 million animals are euthanized at shelters every year, because animals cannot find homes. Having your pet spayed or neutered ensures that you don’t add to this problem.

Behavioral benefits.

Through neutering, you can help your dog or cat live a happier, healthier, longer life. Spaying eliminates the constant crying, nervous pacing, and messiness associated with the female heat cycle.

Neutering can prevent certain undesirable sexual behaviors, such as urine marking, humping, male aggression and the urge to roam.

The long-term benefit of spaying and neutering is improved health for both cats and dogs. Spaying females prior to their first heat cycle nearly eliminates the risk of breast cancer and totally prevents uterine infections and uterine cancer. Neutering males prevents testicular cancer and enlargement of the prostate gland, and greatly reduces their risk for perianal tumors.
