Why Spaying and Neutering Matter for Your Pet and the Community
Choosing to spay or neuter your pet is a decision that goes beyond your own household—it’s a choice that helps reduce pet overpopulation and gives animals in shelters a better chance at finding homes. Every year, millions of dogs and cats end up in overcrowded shelters or on the streets. By preventing accidental litters, you’re making a powerful difference in your community.
But the benefits don’t stop there. Spay and neuter procedures also help protect your pet’s health in some major ways.
The Health Benefits of Spaying & Neutering
Spaying and neutering are about more than population control—they’re about prevention. These surgeries can reduce or even eliminate your pet’s risk of developing certain medical conditions and behavioral issues.
Not sure if it’s the right time? We’re happy to walk you through the process and help you decide what’s best for your pet’s age, breed, and health status.
When Should My Pet Be Spayed or Neutered?
The ideal timing depends on your pet’s breed, size, and overall development. General recommendations follow these guidelines:
🐈⬛ Cats and small to medium-sized dogs should be spayed or neutered around 6 months of age, before female pets start their first heat cycle.
🐕🦺 Large and giant breed dogs should be spayed or neutered closer to 9–12 months old, and sometimes up to 2 years of age to allow time for orthopedic growth.
We’ll work with you to determine the best timeline for your individual pet. If you’re unsure whether they’re ready, give us a call at (972) 578-2553 and we’ll be happy to help.
