The doctors and staff of Winslow Animal Hospital are committed to supporting efforts to reduce the population of stray and unwanted companion animals.
Winslow Animal Hospital will provide free spayingandneutering for the Camden County Animal Shelter, Gloucester County Animal Shelter, and Animal Orphange on Tuesday, February 23, 2010.
Please join us in the fight against overpopulation, and unwanted puppies and kittens. By spaying or neutering your beloved pet, you will have piece of mind knowing that his/her offspring won't be put down in a shelter.
Each day 10,000 humans are born in the U.S. and each day 70,000 puppies and kittens are born. As long as these birth rates exist, there will never be enough homes for all the animals. As a result more than four million pets are put down in U.S. shelters each year. Most of which are healthy, loving cats, dogs, kittens, and puppies.
Maybe someone's dog or cat got out just one time or maybe the litter was intentional, but efforts to find enough good homes failed. Spaying and neutering is the most effective way to combat the serious pet overpopulation epidemic.
In addition to controlling the pet population, the benefits of spaying and neutering are:
Helps dogs and cats live longer & healthier lives.
Spaying eliminates the possibility of uterine or ovarian cancer in females, while neutering eliminates testicular cancer and decreases the incidence of prostate cancer in males.
Spaying and neutering makes pets better and affectionate companions.
Unsterilized animals often exhibit more behavioral and temperament problems.
Spaying and neutering make pets less likely to spray, roam, run away or get into fights with other animals.
