Spaying and neutering domestic pets such as cats and dogs has numerous benefits including preventing unwanted litters that contribute to pet overpopulation and homelessness, reducing health risks like certain cancers, and improving behavior by eliminating urges to roam and mark territory. The procedures involve surgically removing the reproductive organs and are most effective when done between 6 to 9 months of age, though can be performed at any age with greater risks for older animals. Local vets and shelters provide affordable spaying and neutering services to benefit pets' health and welfare.
