First and foremost, sterilising your pet will help them live a longer and healthier life.
That is the expert opinion of veterinary professionals all around the world.
Numerous studies have shown that spaying and neutering increase your pet’s life expectancy by one to five years.
It is also the only humane way to control the population of street cats and dogs.
That is why our sterilisation programme is Lanta Animal Welfare’s biggest project.
But we cannot do it alone.
And for that we have to thank our good friends at Welttierschutzgesellschaft (WTG).
WTG has been supporting Lanta Animal Welfare since 2013, and that support has been truly invaluable.
It has allowed us to steriliise and treat thousands of cats and dogs that would otherwise have no access to veterinary care.
Before WTG’s involvement, LAW had no mobile clinic facility. In the past eight years, thanks to their generosity, not only have we been able to introduce those clinics, we have also been able to expand so we now reach nine different areas.
In that time, we have sterilised 14,000 cats and dogs, and also provided rabies vaccinations to each of those animals.
WTG has made that possible.
As well as buying all the equipment and medical supplies, they also sponsor some of our mobile clinic staff and pay the travel, accommodation and subsistence costs for the whole team.
Lanta Animal Welfare cannot thank WTG enough.
With their help, we have been able to change and save the lives of countless animals.
