 "My pet will get fat and lazy." The truth is that most pets get fat and lazy because their owners feed them too much and don’t give them enough exercise. It is not caused by a spay/neuter. "It’s better to have one litter first." Medical evidence indicates just the opposite. In fact, the evidence shows that females spayed before their first heat are typically healthier and neutered males have a lower incidence of some cancers. "I want my dog to be protective." Spaying or neutering does not affect a dog’s natural instinct to protect home and family. "I don’t want my male dog or cat to feel like less of a male." Pets don’t have any concept of sexual identity or ego. Neutering will not change a pet’s basic personality. He doesn’t suffer any kind of emotional reaction or identity crisis when neutered. It will decrease sexually orientated behavior (aggressiveness, fighting, roaming and urinary marking) which is undesirable.
