It is essential to spay and neuter your pets to help control the crisis of thousands of pets without homes in South Florida. There are many health benefits of spaying and neutering your pet, too. It decreases certain cancer incidence and increases life expectancy. Pets are less likely to roam the streets and risk getting hit by a car, and are less likely to mark/urinate inappropriately. It also helps limit the numbers of animals that end up in shelters by preventing accidental litters.
