Why Spay or Neuter Your Pet?
Spaying (for females) and neutering (for males) offer important medical and behavioral benefits, including:
-
Preventing unwanted litters
-
Reducing the risk of uterine infections and breast cancer (females)
-
Eliminating the risk of testicular cancer (males)
-
Decreasing horomone-driven behaviors like roaming, marking, and aggression
-
Helping reduce overpopulation and the strain on local shelters
Spaying or neutering can help your pet live a healthier, more comfortable life, while also contributing to a more humane pet community in Columbia.
When Should I Spay Or Neuter My Pet?
We typically recommend spaying or neutering at 6-9 months of age, but the ideal timing can vary depending on:
-
Your pet's breed and size
-
Medical history and current health
-
Lifestyle factors (indoor/outdoor, multi-pet household, etc.)
Our team will walk you through the best timeline for your individual pet during their initial wellness exam.
