There are many reasons to spay and neuter pets according to experts.
Sterilization of a cat or dog will increase its chance of a longer and healthier life. Altering a canine friend will increase his life an average of one to three years, felines, three to five years.
Altered animals have a very low to no risk of mammary gland tumors/cancer, prostate cancer, perianal tumors, plyometric, and uterine, ovarian and testicularcancers.
