- By spaying/neutering your pet you can decrease, aggressiveness, fights and injuries related to territorial combats, especially in males
- When in mating, pets tend to wander around in search of a receptive partner which could result in them getting hurt or getting lost, surgical sterilization will eliminate this desire in your domestic pet.
