Treatment for rabies can be avoided when the dog is displaying a current license. When proof of rabies vaccination is required to purchase an animal license, licensing provides a means to control and monitor rabies with office records of rabies vaccination. This in turn helps sever the link between wild animals with rabies and domestic animals from which humans are most likely to contract the disease. Spayed and neutered pets are better, more affectionate companions. Spaying a female dog or cat eliminates its heat cycle.
Female dogs go into heat twice a year, lasting anywhere from three to fifteen days.
During this time dogs are known to show nervous behavior and attract unwanted male animals. Owners of spayed and neutered dogs receive a discount on their license fee. Spayed and neutered dogs and cats live longer, healthier lives. Neutered animals are less likely to roam or fight. As responsible pet owners, as well as a caring and concerned citizen, prevent a litter by having your pet spayed or neutered.
