Spay Or Neuter

Spaying or neutering will not make your puppy fat and lazy. In fact, it can be good for both genders.

• Spaying a female eliminates the chance of uterine and ovarian cancer and reduces the risk of breast cancer.
• Neutering a male reduces the chance of prostate enlargement and cancer. Plus, it makes him more affectionate and less likely to roam.

Most casual pet owners aren't equipped to breed dogs or raise a litter. The costs for extra food and immunizations add up fast. A pregnant dog requires constant attention. And finding good homes for puppies is not always easy. Consult with your vet for more information and advice on this important decision.
