F A Q s
Q: When should I spay/neuter my pet?
A: The best time to spay/neuter your pet is at 4 months to prevent unwanted litters or any reproductive organ health issues. Spay and neuter EARLY!
Q: Isn’t it better to let my female have one litter before I spay her?
A: No, the best time to spay a female is before her first heat. This also reduces risk of mammary cancer and prevents uterine cancer later in life.
Q: Will my pet still spray after they are fixed?
A: Fixing your pet will help reduce the need to spray and mark their territory.
Q: Does my animal exhibit temperament issues because they are not fixed?
A: Unsterilized animals often exhibit more behavior and temperament problems than do those who have been spayed or neutered. Male dogs tend to try to get out of the yard to find a mate.
Q: What if I just let my female go through her heat cycles?
A: Spaying a dog or cat eliminates her heat cycle. Estrus for dogs lasts an average of six to 12 days, often twice a year, in dogs and an average of six to seven days, three or more times a year, in cats. Cats will go in and out of heat frequently. Females in heat can cry incessantly, show nervous behavior, and attract males.
