WHY SPAY OR NEUTER YOUR PET???

Thousands of dogs and cast are destroyed each year in Bay County alone, due to the problem of overpopulation.  That's over 20 million across the U.S. this year!

You may consider yourself a responsible pet owner, but the only sure way to keep your cat or dog from contributing to the problem is to have them spayed or neutered.  The Humane Society of Bay County has composed a Spay and Neuter Program offering reduced fees for sterilization.

ADVANTAGES OF SPAY OR NEUTER:

It lessons or eliminates your pet's desire to roam or get into fights.

In most cases, it stops tomcats from spraying urine in the house.

It is the most effective way to prevent the birth of unwanted puppies and kittens.

It eliminates bloodstains on carpets and floors during messy heat periods.

In a female, spaying eliminates the chances of uterine infections and reduces the chance of mammary cancer.

In a male, neutering eliminates the chances of testicular cancer and reduces the chances of urinary tract infection.

SPAY AND NEUTER MYTHS EXPOSED

The Miracle of Birth:  The miracle of birth is not so miraculous when one considers the tragic reality of overpopulation.  In animal shelters across the U.S., over 20 million animals will be destroyed this year-25% purebreds, 75% mixed breeds.

My pet will get fat:  Obesity is controlled with diet and exercise, and is not determined by a surgical procedure.

My pet will get Lazy:  Exercise and play time will determine how playful your pet will be.  He will also be more calm & content, thus more likely to show affection to you.

Surgery is Dangerous:  A spayed or neutered animal has a better chance of staying in good health.  The surgery is common practice and extremely safe.  Also, the risks involved in bearing young will be avoided.
