Neutering is another name for orchiectomy, or a surgical procedure which removes the testes from a male cat or dog. Spaying or ovariohysterectomy, on the other hand, removes the ovaries, fallopian tubes, and uterus from a female cat or dog. These surgeries are intended to make the animals unable to reproduce and eliminate their instinct-related breeding behavior. The procedure should be performed before your pet reaches one year old in order to avoid complications. Typically, dogs are neutered between six and nine months, but a healthy puppy can have it done as early as eight weeks old. For cats, anywhere between eight weeks and five months will allow you to avoid the start of urine spraying. Our pet doctors will discuss the ideal time to spay or neuter your pet during their first visits.
