Why You Should Spay and Neuter Young

At TCAP, our experienced and caring veterinary team regularly provides pediatric spays and neuters. Due to the long-reaching health and social benefits, we are huge advocates for early pet (pediatric) sterilization.

Spaying female dogs and cats helps prevent uterine infections and breast cancer, which are fatal in about 50 percent of dogs and 90 percent of cats. Spaying your pet before her first heat offers the best protection from these diseases. Male pets that are neutered eliminate their chances of getting testicular cancer and show a lower chance of prostate cancer as well. At TCAP, our caring and compassionate veterinary team is able to provide spays and neuters for pets as young as 10 weeks of age so long as they weigh 2 lbs. or more.

Amazingly, kittens and puppies are able to reproduce as soon as they reach their first heat cycle. This often occurs as early as 4 months of age for kittens and at around 6 months of age for puppies. Beating this first heat cycle is crucial to ensuring there is no chance that your pet will contribute to the homeless pet problem. This doesn’t mean that males get off scot-free!  Removing a dog or cats testes reduces the breeding instinct, making them less inclined to roam and more content to stay at home.

It is also important to note that pets have no qualms about reproducing with members of their own litter. If you are raising an unaltered litter of puppies or kittens, you will quickly have another pregnant pet on your hands if you do not intervene. A single litter of puppies or kittens can easily become several litters if action is not taken to stop the reproductive cycle.
