In addition to helping control pet overpopulation, the procedure may also prevent medical and behavioral problems from developing, allowing your pet to lead a longer, healthier, happier life.

GET THE FACTS

Spayed and neutered pets live longer and healthier lives. Spayed and neutered pets are better, more affectionate companions. Spaying or neutering does not affect a dog's natural instincts to protect its home and family. Operations are simple and pets can sometimes go home the same day. A number of veterinarian clinics in Lake Forest offer low-cost spaying and neutering. Spayed and neutered pets are eligible for discounted license fees.
