⚖️ The Facts: What Is Spaying or Neutering?

• Spaying – Surgical removal of the ovaries/uterus in female pets
• Neutering – Surgical removal of testicles in male pets

It’s a routine, safe procedure done under full anesthesia by licensed vets — with proper pain management and short recovery time.

🧠 Myth vs. Truth: Common Misconceptions

• Myth: My pet will get fat and lazy
  Truth: Weight gain comes from overfeeding, not sterilization. Diet + exercise keep them fit.
• Myth: Females should have one litter before spaying
  Truth: There’s no health benefit to having a litter — in fact, spaying before the first heat reduces cancer risk.
• Myth: It changes their personality
  Truth: Pets stay just as loving — but may be less aggressive or anxious.

❤️ Health Benefits of Spaying/Neutering

• Reduces risk of mammary tumors, uterine infections, testicular cancer
• Prevents life-threatening emergencies like pyometra
• Helps pets live longer, healthier lives

One simple surgery = years of added peace of mind.

😌 Behavior Benefits Too

• Reduces roaming and escape attempts
• Minimizes spraying, marking, and howling
