The Division of Animal Control and Humane Treatment, in cooperation with the Montgomery County Humane Society, Inc., the County Veterinary Medical Association, and individual veterinarians in Montgomery County, offer a low-cost neutering program open to all County residents. These veterinarians are NOT subsidized in any way for their participation in this program. They are doing this as a public service and in recognition of the importance of neutering family pets. There are many good reasons for neutering the family pet.
Neutered pets tend to live longer, healthier lives, and tend to be better behaved and calmer.
The mess and bother of heat cycles is avoided. Studies have shown that dogs which are NOT neutered are three times more likely to bite someone. And finally, neutering your pet means that you will never contribute to the problem of pet overpopulation. Many people who own purebred animals are under the misconception that simply because the animal is purebred, it is of breeding quality. This is a common myth.
