A General Spay or Neuter for Dogs and Cats Timeline to Keep in Mind

The chances of your pet developing mammary gland tumors are significantly reduced when spaying is done before their first heat cycle. As a loving pet owner, you'll value this perk because mammary gland tumors are often malignant. Additionally, many pets can be spayed or neutered as young as four months old. To give your pet maximum benefits, make sure they have this important procedure done by six months old.
