Once your pets have received all of their puppy and kitten vaccinations, your veterinarian will discuss spaying or neutering your pet. At Little Silver Animal Hospital, we can perform spay and neuter surgery for dogs and cats, which offers various health and behavioral benefits, as well as improve life expectancy in pets.

How Does Spay and Neuter Surgery Benefit My Pet?
Spay and neuter surgery can provide health and behavioral benefits, including:
Stops the Heat Cycle
Preventing uncomfortable heat cycles in females
Reduces Health Risks
Decrease the risk of mammary cancer or pyometra in females
Prevents Negative Behavor
Eliminate aggressive behavior such as roaming, spraying or mounting in males
Promotes Healthier Pets
Help increase life expectancy as spayed or neutered pets are less likely to roam or get into fights with other animals
In addition, spay and neuter surgeries can help reduce the homeless animal population in Little Silver, NJ. Millions of stray animals are being housed in overcrowded animal shelters and may be euthanized due to lack of space or loving homes. When you have your dog or cat spayed or neutered, you can help relieve the pressure on local animal shelters and save the lives of other pets.
When Should My Pet Be Spayed or Neutered?
Your veterinarian can evaluate your pet based on breed, size, overall health, and lifestyle to determine when they should be spayed or neutered. We typically recommend having all pets spayed or neutered between 6-8 months of age, or once they have received their final puppy and kitten vaccinations. Ultimately, your pet’s health and safety comes first in everything we do here at Little Silver Animal Hospital. Our team is here to walk you through the spay and neuter surgery and answer questions you have about the procedure.
