Top 8 Myths About Spaying and Neutering Debunked!

If I Spay or Neuter My Pet, It Will Lose Its Sexual Identity


5-3
Animals just don’t spend a lot of time thinking about their sexuality. Your male dog is not going to miss his testicles, and he won’t feel any less masculine without them.


Spaying and Neutering Are Too Expensive


6-3
Spaying or neutering is a one-time expense that means you won’t end up paying for medical care for a litter or for your pet in the event of testicular or breast cancer. Many programs, such as PetSmart charities, exist to defray the cost of spaying and neutering pets. If you want to help out, for a donation, we can help spay and neuter animals.


I Can Always Find Good Homes for Any Puppies or Kittens


7-3

Puppies and kittens are adorable, and it’s certainly possible to find homes for them in most cases. However, every home you find for a puppy or kitten you allowed your pet to bear is one less home for one of the millions of healthy animals that is euthanized each year in the United States. Encourage your friends and neighbors to adopt shelter dogs rather than flooding the market.


Spaying and Neutering Is Too Painful

Spaying and neutering are veterinary procedures that are conducted with your pet under general anesthesia. Your pet may be a little uncomfortable for a few days after surgery, but your vet can prescribe pain medications to ease even that discomfort. Rest assured that your pet will be happier and healthier because you made the right choice.
