Spay/Neuter
RESOURCES
FAQ
The recommended age for spay/neutering is 2-6 months of age
Female animals should be spayed before their first heat; they do not need to have a litter before being spayed
Spaying or neutering your pet can decrease the risk of diseases contracted by mating, and injury from fighting or chasing after an animal for mating
Pets who are spayed/neutered have decreased or zero risk of certain types of cancer (e.g., testicular cancer, mammary cancer)
Altering your pets reduces and often eliminates annoying behaviors
And, most importantly, spay/neutering ends the chance of generations of future homeless animals!
