Altered
Facts about Spaying and Neutering:
- 50 percent of litters aren't planned.
- Puppies and kittens as young as two months old or weighing at least two pounds can be spayed or neutered.
- Spay/neuter reduces breeding-related health risks such as reproductive cancer (Pyometra).
- Spay/neuter ends females’ heat cycles (no more unwanted male suitors).
- Spay/neuter reduces roaming and pets’ chances of being hit by cars.
- Neutering resolves most territorial urine marking
- May reduce mounting/ humping behaviors.
- Spaying and neutering do not hurt, as veterinarians use anesthesia during the procedures and provide pain medications afterward.
- Licensing fees are at least half the price of that of an unaltered pet.


Non-Altered
If your canine is not altered, then you will be required to pay a higher licensing fee until you have this procedure done. Riverside County has a pet overpopulation problem in which thousands of unwanted pets enter our animal shelters each year. To address the community health issues, a higher dog licensing fee was developed for intact dogs to encourage spay/neuter.
