Waverley Animal Hospital says in a Facebook page post that spaying and neutering your pets is so important for many reasons such as preventing unwanted pregnancies and decreasing the risk of some cancers.

In Waverley, they have a special not-for-profit they will be supporting on World Spay Day.

They will be supporting the efforts to reduce pet overpopulation by the local rescue, Spay Day.
