The Benefits of Spaying & Neutering

Spaying (for females) and neutering (for males) provide significant medical and behavioral benefits for pets. Beyond helping reduce the number of unplanned litters, these procedures contribute to a healthier, more balanced life.

Health Benefits:

  • Reduces the risk of certain cancers, such as uterine, ovarian, and testicular cancer

  • Prevents life-threatening uterine infections (pyometra) in females

  • Lowers the likelihood of hormone-related diseases and complications

  • Promotes a longer, healthier lifespan

Behavioral Benefits:

  • Reduces roaming, spraying, and marking behaviors

  • Lessens aggression and dominance-driven tendencies

  • Helps minimize stress-related behaviors associated with mating instincts

When to Spay or Neuter Your Pet

The ideal age for spaying or neutering can vary depending on your pet’s breed, size, and overall health. In general:

Cats

Cats are typically spayed or neutered around 5 to 6 months of age.

Small / Medium Dogs

Small- and medium-breed dogs are often ready between 6 and 9 months.

Large Dogs

Large-breed dogs may benefit from waiting until 12 to 18 months to allow for full physical development.

Our veterinarians will evaluate your pet’s individual needs and provide a personalized timeline for surgery. We prioritize both immediate health benefits and your pet’s long-term growth and comfort.
