<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Spaying or Neutering Is Surgery
Spaying or neutering your pet is a surgical procedure that removes your pet's reproductive organs. Your pet must be put under anesthesia and could face some surgical complications--such as infections--during and after the procedure. Spayed or neutered pets are also prone to obesity.
On the Other: Spaying or Neutering Is a Necessity
Spaying or neutering cuts down on several types of pet cancers and increases the chances for your pet to have a long, healthy life. Neutered male pets are less aggressive after neutering and spaying female dogs helps keep your home clean from estrous cycle stains. Spaying or neutering helps control overpopulation of cats and dogs and eliminates unnecessary roadway deaths.
Bottom Line
While spaying or neutering your pet may seem like a cruel, painful surgical procedure, it is necessary in order to have an overall happy, healthy and balanced pet population.
