According to the ASPCA, did you know that approximately 3-4 million unwanted dogs and cats are euthanized every year? Many people are often nervous about pet spaying and neutering because they believe it will change their pet's personality. There are many benefits to spaying and neutering aside from reducing pet overpopulation. Spaying referring to female pets and neutering referring to male pets can protect against health risks and reduce behavioral problems. 

The traditional age for spaying and neutering is six to nine months for dogs but can be done as young as eight weeks if they are healthy. On the other hand, a cat is considered safe to spray and neuter as young as eight weeks and it is recommended to schedule the surgery before your cat reaches five months. Every pet is different, so it is essential to speak with a veterinarian to determine the best time to spay and neuter your pets.
