Spay & Neuter

The exact time of spaying and neutering your puppies and kittens can greatly vary, but these procedures are definitely important to get done. Our experts will conduct a comprehensive pre-surgical examination of your pet to ensure it is healthy enough to go through spaying or neutering. It’s a routine procedure, so you don’t have to worry about any serious complications. These procedures are very important in controlling the population of stray dogs and cats.

Ideal Time of Spaying and Neutering
The ideal time for getting your dog and cat spayed or neutered varies on many factors, such as:

• Breeds and sizes.
• Age
• Health conditions.

Generally, female dogs should be spayed before their first heat cycle, which occurs at the age of about six months. Large breed dogs need more time for proper development, so their spaying procedures can be delayed by a few months.

Cats should be spayed or neutered even earlier than dogs because they tend to reach sexual maturity quickly. Moreover, spaying or neutering the cat before maturation has many health benefits as it is useful in preventing different types of cancers and infectious diseases.
