The other 11 million dogs, cats, kittens, and puppies are put to death. Spay and neuter surgery is a simple surgical procedure. It prevents the reproduction of dogs and cats. The animal can typically go home that same afternoon. Spaying or neutering procedures can be performed on a dog or cat as early as 8 weeks old.
Neutering turns a male into a sissy and a female gets overweight.
It's better to allow your female to have one litter before she is spayed. It is important for children to witness the miracle of birth. An unneutered pet has the urge to roam and seek out mates. Neutered pets are freed from this urge and become a calmer, more content family member who wishes to stay home and be loved. Your pet will be healthier.
