Why do it?
What do you think about spaying or neutering your pet? A lot of people don't like to do it. My family has always spayed/neutered every pet we have owned. I've never really known the advantages to doing it, I've just been told that it's a good thing to do.
I ended up doing some research on this because I wanted to know what it actually did for the pet. What I found was quite interesting. Some of the these things I found include:
*It is absolutely NOT NECESSARY for a female to have a litter first. In fact, it increases health risks and contributes to the overpopulation crisis.
*Over 10 million animals are killed each year in shelters or by accidents, poisoning, starvation or disease. Many of these animals are unwanted due to the companion animal overpopulation crisis.
*All animals will benefit with improved health. (for specifics, check out the site.)
I found these here. If you know any other advantages, please share them in the comment box!

it helps prevent testicular cancer and reduces the risk of prostate disorders. maybe even the risk of diabetes.
helps reduce:
mammary tumors, uterine cervical and ovarian tumors in females.
but it does triple the risk for obesity and can significantly increase the risk for bone cancer in older dogs, increase the risk for progressive geriatric cognitive impairment (alzheimers) (which lack of hormones have also proven with how it starts in humans) and finally, increases the chance for adverse reactions to vaccinations. though. there will ALWAYS be side effects to any surgery or medical process. look at the back of a pill bottle ;/
