Spaying and Neutering 101: What Every Pet Owner Should Know

When To Spay/Neuter

The ideal age for spaying or neutering can vary depending on the species and breed of your pet. In general, we recommend having your pet altered prior to sexual maturity (4-6 months of age) in order to prevent mammary/testicular cancer later in your beloved pets life. 

 

Why Spay/Neuter

Spaying and neutering your pet not only helps the pet overpopulation crisis, but it also has many great benefits for your furry family member. Additionally, research has shown that altered pets live longer than pets that have not been altered.

        • It will help reduce pet overpopulation and help keep pets out of overcrowded shelters.
        • It can have a positive impact on behavior by decreasing aggression, roaming, and marking.
        • It reduces your pet’s risk of health problems such as cancer, uterine infections, and prostate issues.
        • It costs less than caring for a litter of puppies or kittens.
        • It has no effect on your pet’s ability to learn, play, or hunt.

Spaying and neutering your pets is a responsible decision that promotes their health, reduces the risk of certain diseases, and helps control the pet population. We are dedicated to providing a caring and supportive environment for your pets during these procedures.
