Yes, spaying does have many, many health benefits for your Dog. Spaying eliminates the risk of womb infections, ovarian cancer and Cervical cancer - which are all life-threatening. If your Dog is spayed before her first season she has virtually no risk of developing yet another extremely common and life-threatening disease - mammary cancer. Whereas, if your Dog is left unspayed until she is 2 years old, her risk of getting these diseases has already reached its maximum. The older a female gets without spaying, the more likely it is that she will develop a life-threatening disease. Apart from improving her health, spaying prevents more unwanted litters and stops her from bleeding and having sometimes painful seasons (heat cycles).

It all depends on what kind of pet it is and what you plan on doing with it. I would say that dogs and cats should be neutered because there is an overpopulation. However, if you are planning on breeding any types of animals they should not be neutered. This is just my opinion an I may be wrong.
