Weedon, G. R., & Fischer, A. 2015. Surgery Not Required: Current and Future Options in Fertility Control of Dogs and Cats.
There is a long road from demonstrating that a certain contraceptive approach can suppress fertility in a dog or a cat, and achieving regulatory approval for a product that can be marketed. Although some approaches can be shown to be safe and effective, the time and technical expertise required for developing a manufacturing process that can be scaled up and result in a stable, reproducible product is often the main obstacle to regulatory approval. Regardless, the need exists for products to help with animal population control worldwide. As new tools are developed to prevent animal reproduction, countless lives will be spared in shelters and on the street.
