Bully Low-Cost Spay/Neuter Incentive Program
 
 
 
Why Spay or Neuter your dog?  We say why not?
 
 
Spay or neuter your dog for it's health!
Did you know that spaying and neutering has been shown to decrease an animals chances of developing uterine, mammary and testicular cancers?  It can also decrease enlarged prostate issues and cause many other health issues in dogs.  Spaying will also guarantee that your female dog will not develop Pyometra, a serious and fatal uterine infection.
 
Spay or neuter your dog for the population!
Did you know that THOUSANDS of dogs die every day in area shelters simply because there are not enough homes out there?  It's not just something that plagues the American Pit Bull Terrier, but every breed.  Now that the "Designer Dog" fad is in full swing and everyone owns a Malti-Poo or a Chorkie, more and more large breed dogs are in danger of being put to sleep because they aren't cute and fluffy.
 
Spay or neuter your dog for your pocketbook!
Did you know that spaying and neutering costs less than it does caring for a litter of puppies?  Do the math on a litter of 10 puppies who have at LEAST had a vet check, de-wormed and their first set of shots.... YIKES!  Then puppy food, vet checks for mom, and don't forget all the pre-natal vet exams before the puppies are even born.
