Neutering your puppy can ease his tendency towards aggressive behavior.
Obtain low-cost or free spay and neutering services for your companion animal. Neutering your companion animal early in life may have long-ranging health and behavioral benefits, according to "The Adopted Dog Bible" by Kim Saunders. Contact the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), national or local offices of the Humane Society or Pet Guardian Angels of America. You'll find an impressive number of financial resources to help neuter your animal.
Companion Animal Insurance
Neutering a male kitten may prevent territorial spraying behaviors.
Most major animal insurance policies provide spay and neuter benefits. Veterinary Pet Insurance of Brea, California (the company self-bills as "protection for you and your pet against 'ruff times') is the oldest and largest pet insurance provider in the country, funding over 70 percent of all existing pet insurance plans in force. Other competitors include American Kennel Club, Hartville Goup, and Matrix Direct. Insure an animal early in life to get the lowest premium quotes.
