Responsible pet care involves making decisions that affect your animal's health, safety and well-being. Spaying or neutering your pet is one of the best ways to protect its health and welfare as well as reduce pet overpopulation. You can be part of the solution to reduce pet overpopulation by having your pet altered and helping to reduce the number of orphaned animals that are euthanized. Contact your veterinarian for local spay and neuter services.
