Spaying/neutering keeps pets from producing unwanted litters and it actually improves pets' health! The simple surgery reduces reproductive cancers in females and prostate cancer in males. Other benefits include making them less likely to roam and become injured, less likely to spray or mark, and less likely to exhibit dominant behavior.
