When Should You Spay/Neuter Your Pet?
At River Trail Animal Hospital & Pet Lodge, we have recommendations for when you should spay/neuter your family pet.
- For kittens: It’s safe for kittens to get spayed or neutered at 5 months of age. It’s also possible to spay a female cat while she’s in heat.
- For puppies: Generally, dogs are spayed or neutered at 6 months of age or older. However, this timeline changes based on your pet’s breed and gender, as some large breed dogs could benefit from a later surgery.

The Benefits of Spay and Neuter Surgeries
Spay and neuter surgeries offer several medical and behavioral benefits to your pet.
- Reduce Pet Overpopulation: Millions of puppies and kittens are sadly euthanized each year. Unwanted pet litters often end up homeless or in a crowded pet shelter, only to be euthanized shortly after. Spaying and neutering help save pet lives and give currently sheltered animals a higher chance of being adopted.
- Healthier Pets: Spay and neuter surgeries can reduce the risk of certain cancers and serious diseases, like uterine infections, breast tumors in females, and prostate problems in males.
- Behavioral Improvement: Is your pet showing escalating signs of aggression? The surgery can improve your pet's aggressive, territorial, or roaming behavior for a calmer, less anxious four-legged friend.
These procedures are also cost-effective, as your pet’s spay and neuter surgery will cost far less than the price of taking care of a litter of animals down the road.
