Spay and Neuter

Spaying is a surgical procedure that removes the ovaries and uterus of a female pet.

Neutering is a surgical procedure that removes the testicles of the pet.  Both procedures ensure that your pet will not reproduce.

Spay and neutering is a decision that is usually made when your pet is young.  Kittens can be spayed or neutered at 8 weeks. A puppy can be spayed or neutered in the 5th month of life. Older animals may be spayed or neutered at the time of adoption.  

Because pet shelters are overflowing with unwanted animals, spaying and neutering is a responsible decision to help control the pet population. There are also some behavioral benefits to spaying and neutering your pets.  

• Spaying a female cat or dog protects them from uterine infections and cancer of reproductive organs.
• Neutering a male dog before 6 months of age can prevent your pet of testicular cancer.
• Pet will stay closer to home.
• Pets will be better behaved.
