Our cats and dogs are the joy of our lives, our friends and family members. We want to do our best to ensure that they live a healthy and enjoyable life. One of the most important steps in this regard is sterilization.
Benefits of Sterilization

- Population Control: It prevents the number of stray animals living on the streets from increasing.
Misinformation About Sterilization

- Early neutering hinders development: Early neutering does not prevent growth, on the contrary, it prevents health problems caused by some hormones.
What Should Be Considered After Sterilization?
- Things to pay attention: Follow your cat's recovery process after the operation, and report any problems such as loss of appetite or problems with the stitches to your veterinarian.

Sterilization is a process that is beneficial for both your pet and society. Do not hesitate to take this valuable step to ensure that our furry friends live a healthy and enjoyable life. (BSHA – Science and Health News Agency)
