Phoenix Veterinarians
Spaying and Neutering Dogs and Cats
Spaying and neutering cats and dogs is a controversial issue with some people, and it isn't for everyone. However, we feel that this is a necessary balance that improves the pet population of the world… and in particular, Phoenix, Arizona.
If everyone in Phoenix got their cats and dogs "fixed," we would run out of cats and dogs. However, if no one got their pets spayed or neutered, Phoenix would be overrun with animals. So if you don’t want to get your pet spayed or neutered, that's fine by all means. If you do want to get your pet fixed, our Phoenix veterinarians are here to take care of the task for you.
Every day thousands of stray dogs and cats are taken to animal shelters. If no one claims these pets for a certain amount of time, the pets are generally killed. This isn't a desirable end for any dog or cat, of course, as they surely don't want to die, but this practice has become necessary due to the large number of animals being born every day.
Too many pets means there are going to be pets who are euthanized in order to decrease the pet population of Phoenix. It also means that there are going to be more stray animals on our streets, and there will be more rabid animals that attack people. It is societies responsibility to keep humans safe from such animal incidences, as well as to not allow our streets to fill up with hungry, sick, dying stray animals.
If you have questions about getting your pet spayed on neutered, contact the Phoenix veterinarian clinic today for help. We can help you decide whether or not to get your animal fixed, and discuss where to go from there.
