March Pet Themes

Fix Your Pet Month

March is Fix Your Pet month and the Ontario SPCA is encouraging the public to spay or neuter their pets and help reduce the number of unwanted animals in their communities. Help spread the word about the importance of fixing your pet through your social channels and encourage them to #FixYourPet – it’s the kindest thing you can do.

Visit fixyourpet.ca and take the pledge saying you have or will be fixing your pet.
