Did you know that spaying or neutering your
dog is good for his or her health? In males, it eliminates testicular
cancer and decreases the incidence of prostate disease. While in females the
surgery, in which the reproductive organs are removed, eliminates uterine
or ovarian cancer and also greatly reduces the incidence of breast cancer.
Best of all, neutered males are
less likely to roam, mark their territory or display aggression
toward other dogs.
For more information, please contact
the Humane Society...

AN OUNCE
OF PREVENTION...
Prevention is vital. The best way
to keep your pets safe is to keep them inside the house when you are
gone. Also, walk your fence line to be sure your fence is secure and
that your gates are locked and can't be opened by your pet or a
stranger. Your dog or cat should have a well-fitting collar, with
current ID tag, and current rabies and license. A microchip or
tattoo can also be a great way to help your pet find her way back
home.
Microchips are available at
the Payson Humane Society for $40 per pet. To make arrangements for
this procedure, please call the Shelter at (928) 474-5590.
Note: Microchips are great tools,
but they can move around under your pet's skin. In addition, some
new microchips, offered this year by Banfield Hospital (Petsmart)
and others, are not readable by the scanners most shelters have. So
have your vet or shelter check periodically to make sure your dog's
microchip is still easy to read.
