In Australia, there are hundreds of thousands of lost, abandoned and unwanted animals at any one time, and sadly many of these never find a loving home. By desexing your pet, you can do your part to prevent unwanted pregnancies, which result in unwanted litters and add to our already overcrowded animal shelters. It reduces the risk of reproductive diseases, cancers and infections of the reproductive organs in both males and females (e.g. testicular cancer, prostate enlargement, breast cancer, cystic ovaries, and ovarian tumors). It can also prevent behavioral problems such as aggressive and antisocial behavior (e.g. spraying indoors), as well as prevent your pet from wandering to find a mate (this can lead to your pet fighting with other animals, being involved in a road accident, etc.). In addition to this, repeated breeding takes a massive toll on any female’s body and can cause nutritional and physical exhaustion. Basically, a desexed pet can live a much longer and healthier life!
