When to Spay or Neuter Your Pet
Spaying and neutering can be performed safely on most pets as early as eight weeks of age, although the ideal age may vary depending on the breed and individual health considerations. We recommend discussing the timing of spaying or neutering with your veterinarian to determine the best course of action for your pet.
Why Spay and Neuter?
Spaying and neutering your pet offer numerous health and behavioral benefits, including:
- Prevention of Unwanted Litters: Spaying and neutering help prevent the birth of unwanted puppies and kittens, reducing the number of homeless pets in our community.
- Health Benefits: Spaying and neutering can help prevent certain reproductive cancers and reduce the risk of other health issues, such as uterine infections and testicular cancer.
- Behavioral Improvement: Neutered males are less likely to roam, spray, or exhibit aggressive behaviors, while spayed females are less likely to experience heat-related behaviors and may have a reduced risk of aggression.
