Overpopulation
Before you decide you'd like to breed your dog please consider that El Paso has a horrible overpopulation problem. Thousands of animals are euthanized annually because homes cannot be found for them.
Mammary &Testicular Cancer
Mammary tumors are the most common tumors seen in unspayed females. They can start as small nodules and grow into large ulcerated metastatic growths. Testicular tumors can become very enlarged and painful. Spaying and neutering significantly reduces the chance of your pet developing this condition.
Myth: females should have their first heat cycle before spaying
By spaying and neutering at or before 6 months, you can greatly reduce your pet's risk for diseases such as mammary cancer in females and prostate cancer in males. There is absolutely no reason to wait until they have had their first heat cycle.
Pyometra
Pyometra is an infection of the uterus that can be life threatening if not discovered early. Spaying your pet eliminates this risk.
Not To Mention...
Delivery is not easy for many dogs and may require an expensive c-section.
