Humane Ohio to offer $20 dog, cat neutering
Humane Ohio is offering a promotion for neutering male dogs and cats next month.
The “Avoid the Mayhem” promotion for Lucas County pet owners will provide neutering for 200 male dogs and 200 owned male cats for $20 each at 3131 Tremainsville Rd. The special is funded with a $45,900 grant from PetSmart Charities.
Neutering can be performed on animals that are at least 8 weeks old and at least two pounds. The procedure not only prevents unwanted litters from being born, it can reduce animals’ tendency to roam and mark their territories. It can also help reduce aggression, and is known to improve the health of the pet, including a reduced risk of certain reproductive cancers and infections.
