Why desexing is important

- Health Benefits: Reduces the risk of certain cancers, such as mammary tumors in females and testicular cancer in males. It also prevents uterine infections and prostate problems.

- Community Benefits: Helps reduce the number of stray and unwanted animals, contributing to a healthier and more harmonious community.
