MYTHS ABOUT
SPAYING & NEUTERING
-
Your male dog will not
lose his “manhood” if he is neutered. In fact, there is less
"mess" and it will add years to the life of your dog by
reducing his chances of getting prostate cancer.
-
It is not healthier for
the female to go into her first heat cycle. In fact, doing
so increases her chances of getting ovarian or mammary
cancers.
-
Your pet will not get lazy
or fat. Lack of exercise & overfeeding make animals fat!
-
Children need not witness
the “miracle” of birth by watching unwanted animals being
born. Allowing your pets to produce offspring that you have
no intention of keeping teaches children irresponsibility.
