**Why Spay/Neuter Matters**
Spaying and neutering your pets is a crucial step towards responsible pet ownership. It not only helps control the pet population but also offers numerous benefits for your furry friends:
1. **Population Control**: California faces a significant challenge with pet overpopulation, leading to higher euthanasia rates in shelters. By spaying/neutering your pets, you contribute to reducing these rates.
2. **Health Benefits**: Spayed and neutered pets are less likely to develop certain health issues, such as certain cancers and infections.
3. **Behavioral Improvements**: Altered pets tend to be less aggressive and less likely to roam, reducing the risk of accidents and fights.
4. **Longer Lifespan**: Studies show that spayed/neutered pets live longer, healthier lives.
