He may have been a game show host, but Bob Barker had it right when, at the end of every episode of The Price Is Right, he reminded audiences the world over to spay and neuter their pets. Despite our best efforts, pet over-population is a huge problem in our country. And it’s easy to see why. Think about it …   

• One female dog and her offspring can create 67,000 dogs in just six years.*
• One female cat and her offspring can produce 420,000 cats in just seven years.*

That’s a lot of pets. Sadly, there just aren’t enough homes for all of them. These animals end up lost, in shelters and left to survive on their own. By spaying and neutering our pets, we can avoid these potential situations.

 

Need more reasons to spay and neuter?   

• It significantly reduces the risks of your pet developing cancer or other illness.
• It makes pets less likely to roam the neighborhood, run away or get lost.
• Your pets will be less inclined to be aggressive and less likely to bite.
• Your pet is more likely to become more calm, gentle and affectionate.
• It can reduce or eliminate unwanted behaviors such as spraying, wailing and heat cycles.

If your pet’s not yet spayed or neutered, don’t wait. Call one of our low-cost spay/neuter clinics to set an appointment. Trust us, your pet will thank you!
