Marshall County Humane Society News Benefits of spay and neutering Spaying or neutering will increase a dog’s life by an average of one to three years, and a cat’s for three to five years. •
Sterile dogs and cats have a very low to no risk of suffering cancers
related to the reproductive organs. If a dog is spayed before her
first heat cycle, her chances of developing cancerous tumors drops to
less than one percent. • Spaying and neutering
rids pets of the urge to stray from home to find a mate. An unneutered
male kept in a fenced backyard can become a manic escape artist when he
senses a female in heat. • Male pets neutered at a young age tend to be less aggressive toward other male animals. • A neutered cat is less likely to spray. •
By preventing unwanted dog and cat litters, you help to prevent animal
suffering and the proliferation of generations of homeless animals. • Sterile pets are more content and affectionate. •
Sterile hunting dogs can focus on the hunt without the distractions
caused by hormones. Spayed female dogs won’t miss a hunting trip due to
a heat cycle. Sources: Mississippi Spay and Neuter, Spay USA, Mississippi State University Ag Communications.
