Why Spay and Neuter Your Pets?
The most important reason is to prevent them from producing any more litters. Did you know that pet overpopulation is the leading cause of death for dogs and cats? Shelters are overburdened with too many homeless animals. Not all of them will be adopted.

Every litter born reduces the chances for other animals to find homes. Until the numbers of cats and dogs drop significantly, many will be euthanized because there is no place for them.

Benefits to You
Besides being the right thing to do, spaying and neutering provides a lot of benefits.

Spayed and neutered pets are:

• Healthier, so you save on the cost of vet care

• Have better temperaments

• Less prone to bite or act aggressively

• Less likely to roam the neighborhood, run away, or get into fights

• More affectionate companions

• Naturally protective of their family

• Unlikely to spray and mark territory

• Never in heat, never pregnant, never giving birth to an unwanted litter

• Reduced license fee each year

About Early Spay/Neuter
SEAACA is a proponent of Early Spay/Neuter. Altering pets at a young age diminishes or eliminates deadly cancers of the breast, uterus, ovaries and testicles, and reduces the possibility of prostrate disease. Veterinarians state that surgery on pups and kittens as young as 8 weeks is safe, and recovery is faster.

So What're You Waiting For?
Communities spend millions of dollars to pick up, shelter, treat, try to place and euthanize unwanted animals. Unwanted animals on the streets suffer from sickness, hunger, abuse, and often cause accidents. The toll in misery is enormous.

A community that adopts instead of breeds is a more humane, safer and richer place. Low cost spaying and neutering services are abundantly available. SEAACA's Animal Wellness Clinic is one of several local resources. Call for an appointment today: (562) 803-3301 x234.
