Some aggression problems may be avoided by early neutering. Your dog might be less likely to mount other dogs, people and inanimate objects after he’s neutered. Unneutered dogs and cats are more likely to mark their territory by spraying strong-smelling urine all over the house. Your neutered male may be better behaved.Once he's free to roam, he risks injury in traffic and fights with other animals.

An intact male will do just about anything to find a mate, including finding creative ways escape from the house.

Your male dog will be less likely to roam away from home.

In an effort to advertise for mates, they'll yowl and urinate more frequently-sometimes all over the house!

While cycles can vary, female felines usually go into heat four to five days every three weeks during breeding season. Your spayed female pet won't go into heat.Neutering your male companion prevents testicular cancer and some prostate problems.Spaying your pet before her first heat offers the best protection from these diseases. Spaying prevents uterine infections and decreases the incidence of breast tumors, which are malignant or cancerous in about 50 percent of dogs and 90 percent of cats. Your female pet will live a longer, healthier life.There are also medical and behavioral benefits to spaying (female pets) and neutering (male pets). Millions of healthy dogs and cats are euthanized in the United States each year simply because there aren’t enough homes to go around. By spaying or neutering your pet, you’ll help control the pet homelessness crisis.
