Prevention is cheaper than treatment.

Our proof of concept on Aegina Island achieved an 85% reduction in stray dogs within approximately 3 years, while also reducing long-term public costs.

But the biggest lesson was this:

For every €1 invested into PREVENTION — through microchipping, registration, and neutering of OWNED dogs — €11 were saved versus dealing with the consequences AFTER the problem of strays occurs through TNVR programs, shelters, adoptions, public health costs, and long-term stray management.
