Today is . The day exists as an opportunity to educate pet owners and the general public about the positive impact of spaying (female) and neutering (male) pets to prevent unwanted litters, stray animals and health issues down the road.
By preventing unwanted litters, you can help reduce the number of stray and unwanted pets that often cross the rainbow bridge before their time due to over crowding and stress at shelters. Spaying and neutering your pets can help reduce their risk of certain cancers, reduce aggression and their desire to roam. By spaying your female pets, you are also significantly reducing the risk of uterine infection (pyometra) which is fatal if not treated.
In general, veterinarians recommend spaying/neutering smaller breed pets in the 4-6 month range. For larger breed pets, your DVM may recommend spaying/neutering around the 1 year old mark. Give us a call (317) 736-9246 or shoot us a text (317) 659-7416 if you'd like to get your pet scheduled with us for their spay or neuter!
