Many people think that it is not important to spay/neuter their pets because “their pets are indoor pets”.  However, it is natural instinct for an animal to sense out “a mate”. It only takes one time for your pet to escape, find and breed with another animal.

Spaying and neutering your pets will prevent problems like these. You will not have to worry about confining your pet when it is “in heat” to keep other animals away. Or in some cases go several days with your pet missing because it is off with an animal in heat. In most cases, dogs/cats become pregnant unexpectedly and the owner is not prepared for it. These puppies/kittens usually end up in the pound or are left homeless to fend for themselves. Spaying and neutering once again can cut back on the amount of homeless pound puppies/kittens.

It is also beneficial to the pet's health. It reduces the chance of your pet receiving certain types of cancers and helps them live longer, healthier lives. It reduces their urge to roam away from home which can lead to contracting disease or getting hit by a car.
