Why we recommend desexing your pet…
“Desexing your pets has many health and behavioural benefits, not to mention it reduces the number of unwanted animals in the community,”
“Desexing pets can prevent them from roaming, fighting and causing a nuisance to neighbours.”
We also reminded residents of the savings associated with registering a desexed pet.
“Pet owners will receive a significant 76 per cent discount on registration fees if their cat or dog is desexed”
“Having your dog or cat desexed is not only good for your pet; it’s also good for the community and for your pocket.”
Desexing is one of the simpliest things you can do for your pet, and we can’t express enough the benefits of getting this done.
