Prevents Pet from Going Into Heat: In addition to giving off a scent which will attract males from miles around, many females also display undesirable behaviors such as loud and persistent crying and rubbing and rolling on the floor when in heat.
Reduces Desire to Roam: When in heat, females experience an urge to escape to find a mate.
This unwanted and dangerous behavior is eliminated when spayed.
Improves Chances for a Long, Healthy Life: Spaying reduces your pet's risk of developing uterine and ovarian cancer, as well as a potentially life-threatening uterine infection known as pyometra.
