Tuesday, February 27th, is World Spay Day! Spay Day exists to educate everybody on the importance of spaying and neutering their pets.
World Spay Day first started as "Spay Day USA" and has since grown. The Doris Day Animal League (DDAL) originally started Spay Day USA in 1995 to promote awareness of spaying and neutering across the U.S. But when the DDAL merged with the Humane Society of the United States, "Spay Day" became a worldwide event.
Promoting and educating others on spaying and neutering can help save tons of animal lives, from homeless animals to service pets. Here are some big benefits to spaying and neutering.
Benefits of Spaying:
- Female dogs won't go through heat (males won't be attracted to them)
- Less restless/less likely to run away
- Less risk of mammory gland tumors, uterine cancer, ovarian cancer
Benefits of Neutering:
- Male dogs won't spray/mark as much or at all
- Less restless/less likely to run away
- Risk of prostate disease decreased, risk of prostate cancer eliminated
- Decreases aggressive behavior
Overall, if you spay or neuter your pet, they're more likely to live a longer, happier life. So use the holiday to spread awareness about spaying and neutering, or to donate or volunteer at local shelters. Happy World Spay Day!
