Spaying and Neutering

Spaying and Neutering

Spaying or neutering your pet is safe and pain-free.

It is good for your pet

Spayed or neutered pets are healthier and happier. A female dog or cat that is spayed will never develop certain types of cancer.

It is convenient for you

Spayed female pets don't have "heat" periods. Male dogs or cats do not congregate in your yard during certain times. Neutered male pets are less likely to roam or get into fights.

It saves you money on license fees

The pet license for a spayed or neutered pet costs only half the regular fee.

It is the right thing to do

Millions of dogs and cats are abandoned and/or destroyed each year because there are not enough good homes for them. Just one female dog or cat producing just one litter of four offspring a year will result in:

Two years ---- 12 offspring
Three years ---- 36 offspring
Five years ---- 324 offspring
Seven years ----- 4,327 offspring

That's a lot of pets. Please do your part to solve the spiraling pet population problem.

Community Spay/Neuter Assistance Program - provides funding for Clark County groups, programs, or projects promoting animal welfare through the spaying and neutering of domestic pets.
