February is Spay/Neuter Month!!

 February is Spay/Neuter Month!

Have you been to a shelter lately? It is awful, there are so many animals with no homes, no one to love them, or provide for them. Still there are animals around here that have not been spayed or neutered. It is beneficial to prevent a litter so that less animals are homeless, sent to shelters, or being euthanized. Along with over population spaying and neuter can help your pet live longer and happier. Spaying before a female’s first heat cycle, can all but eliminate the chance of breast cancer. Neutering a male can prevent prostate problems and testicular cancer; prevent spraying, fighting with other males, and running away to find a female in heat. So, I am sure you are wondering at what age can kittens and puppies be spayed or neutered. Well the answer is as young as 12 weeks.

 In February every year we offer a discount on spaying and neutering. For your pet’s safety, we require a veterinary exam, up-to-date vaccination record, and a recent heartworm test and fecal cytology before scheduling any surgeries. For pricing and more information about scheduling your pet’s to be spayed and/or neutered call our office at (336) 591-8250.
