FAQ
Why choose ekine over sterilization?
Sterilization stands out as a very effective solution, and we actively encourage pet parents to sterilize their pets. However, there is a notable underuse of sterilization, with around 40% of pet owners choosing not to pursue this option. Additionally, when employed as a standalone method, sterilization falls short in addressing the complex issue of stray animals, achieving a sterilization rate of less than 5%. This underscores the urgency for ekine’s solution, which is now essential in effectively curbing the uncontrolled propagation of animals in urban zones.
How can we ensure that all stray animals receive a sufficient and consistent supply of food?
While it may be challenging to ensure that every animal will consistently receive ekine-inside food, a significant number of stray animals, in urban areas, either rely on feeding stations or individuals who feed within communities. This suggests that a substantial portion of these animals is likely to receive an adequate amount, that will reduce fertility as intended.
Does it affect both females and males?
Certainly, ekine’s product is designed to have an impact on both females and males, thereby enhancing the safeguarding of roaming animals against unwanted pregnancies.
