The PAWS and More Animal Shelter in Washington will be holding its next low-cost spay and neuter day on Monday. The shelter works with the Iowa Humane Alliance in Cedar Rapids to offer a low-cost spay/neuter day once a month for the public. According to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, your female pet will live a longer, healthier life if you get them spayed. Spaying prevents uterine infections and decreases the incidence of breast tumors, which are malignant or cancerous in about 50 percent of dogs and 90 percent of cats—spaying your pet before her first heat offers the best protection from these diseases. Your neutered male may be better behaved. Some aggression problems may be avoided by early neutering; the male dog will also be less likely to roam away from home and risk injury in traffic and fights with other animals. If you are interested in the low-cost spay and neuter day with Paws and More, you can contact them to sign up. Find a link with more information with this news story at KCIIradio.com
