Discounts double for spay/neuter procedures

| | Comments (1) |
The city's Animal Care and Adoption Center is encouraging residents to spay and neuter their pets with a special offer through March 23.

Typical vouchers, which give residents a $50 discount for dogs and $25 discount for cats, will double in value from now through March 23. During this time,  you can pick up a free voucher to receive $100 and $50 discounts to spay and neuter your pets.

The vouchers are honored at the following veterinary clinics: Alta Loma Animal Hospital, Adobe Animal Hospital, Archibald Pet Hospital, Rancho Regional Veterinary Hospital, Victoria Animal Hospital, Upland Animal Hospital and the Humane Society of San Bernardino Valley in San Bernardino.
According to Joseph Pulcinella, animal services director, pets are generally healthier, safer and less expensive to care for when they are spayed and neutered. According to a press release from the center:

Sterilized pets are healthier -- Overall, sterilized animals live many years longer than their unsterilized counterparts as a result of the many health benefits associated with spaying and neutering. For example, if a female dog is payed before her first "heat," her chances of developing mammary cancer is reduced to near zero. Since this cancer is difficult to detect in dogs and spreads rapidly to the lungs and bones, sterilization significantly reduces mortality from this cancer.

Sterilized pets are safer -- Animals who are spayed or neutered are less likely to roam, greatly lessening their chances of being hit by cars, getting into fights with other animals, and acquiring diseases. Neutered male dogs are less likely to exhibit dominance behaviors which can be a cause for aggression especially towards children. Unneutered males cause the majority of dog bites with children.

Sterilized pets are easier to live with -- Neutered male animals are less likely to mount or spay. Spayed female animals will not attract amorous crowds of male suitors to your home.

Sterilized pets are less expensive -- Sterilized animals generally require less veterinary care than their unneutered counterparts for such problems as bite wounds, accidental injuries, reproductive cancers and infections. In addition, the licensing fees in most municipalities are typically less expensive if the animal is spayed or neutered.

The Animal Care and Adoption Center, on 11780 Arrow Route, is opened 1 to 7 p.m. Monday to Friday and noon to 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
