Sterilization reduces a pet’s urge to roam, decreasing the risk of contracting diseases or being injured in a fight or by a vehicle. Sterilization also reduces the risks of some reproductive cancers in pets. It is believed sterilization can increase a dog’s life by one to three years and a cat’s life by three to five years.
