Neutering and spaying are not exactly something your pet will be looking forward to.

- Reduces or eliminates the risk of territorial spraying and marking
- Reduces desire to roam
- Risk of testicular cancer is eliminated
- Decreases chances of prostate disease
- Reduces the number of unwanted kittens or puppies
- Decreases aggressive behavior

When Should You Spay or Neuter Your Pet?
When you choose to spay or neuter your pet, you will not only be improving their long-term health, but you will also be helping control the pet homelessness crisis. There are various benefits to spay and neuter services, but you may not know the best time to take your fur baby to a veterinary clinic. The traditional age to spay or neuter a dog is between six and nine months. On the other hand, cats can be spayed or neutered as young as eight weeks, but to avoid pregnancy, you will want to schedule an appointment before your cat reaches five months old.
At Vetcare for Pets Animal Hospital, we take pride in providing pet owners with quality spay and neuter services.
