What are the benefits of sterilization?

First, it is easy to control. Pets in estrus like to bark and run around, which is difficult to control and can easily be lost if you are not careful. Especially large dogs, they may be even more uncontrollable during estrus. After sterilization, the temperament of pets becomes more... docile.

Second, reduce the risk of disease. Avoid the occurrence of many reproductive system diseases, reduce the chance of testicular cancer in male animals, reduce the prevalence of prostate disease, and also reduce the occurrence of breast cancer and uterine cancer in female animals. It can also reduce skin diseases caused by abnormal hormone secretion.

Third,extend the life span of pets. Continuous and excessive reproductive activities will accelerate the aging of the pet’s body organs and shorten the life of the pet. Neutering is the best way to extend the life of the pet.

Fourth,Change the pet’s personality. The temperament of neutered dogs becomes more docile, reducing the number of pets going out, howling, and fighting, thereby reducing the chance of injury and loss. The relationship with the owner becomes closer.

Fifth,Reduce the number of stray dogs. In recent years, stray dogs have become one of the serious social problems in Chinese society. Stray dogs attack people frequently, and the number of stray animals is still increasing.

The most important reason for the increase in stray animals is that many pets that have not been neutered are bred at will. The resulting pets are not effectively disposed of and discarded, resulting in a sharp increase in stray animals. Neutering is the most important way to prevent the increase in stray animals from the source.
