Spaying or neutering your pet is one of the most caring choices you can make for their long-term health and happiness. It helps prevent unwanted litters, supports a longer and healthier life, and can reduce the risk of serious health concerns. Female pets are protected from going into heat and from conditions such as reproductive tract infections, including pyometra, and certain cancers. Male pets are protected from testicular cancer and may have fewer prostate problems later in life. These procedures can also make life a little easier at home. Female pets will no longer go into heat, and male pets are often less likely to roam, which helps keep them safe from fights, injuries, and vehicle accidents. Male cats may also be less likely to spray urine. Spaying and neutering also play an important role in reducing pet overpopulation in our community. In general, cats benefit most around 6 months of age, and many dogs do as well, though large-breed dogs may need a more personalized timeline. After surgery, most pets need about 14 days of quiet rest, with a gradual return to full activity about one month after their procedure.
