These animals can suffer an awful life of starvation, disease, lack of shelter and love, abuse and continue the cycle of overbreeding.
It’s every owner’s responsibility to make sure their pet is desexed, regardless of whether it is male or female. The operation is quick and recovery is only a few days. Your pet can be desexed from two to three months of age. Desexing means your pet:
- has a reduced cancer risk
- won’t suffer from exhaustion associated with continually breeding
- will generally live a longer and healthier life
- will be less prone to wander, fight or get lost
- is likely be calmer and more affectionate
- is less likely to urine mark
- will not attract male dogs or cats to your property
- won’t cost as much to register with the council
