Whether you’re scheduling a routine dog neutering or planning a cat spaying procedure, our experienced veterinary team is here to guide you through every step with compassion and care.
When Should You Spay or Neuter Your Pet?
The ideal timing for spay or neuter surgery depends on your pet’s species, breed, age, and overall health. At Mount Carmel Pet Hospital, we provide individualized guidance to help you make the best decision for your dog or cat.
For most cats and small to medium-sized dogs, spay or neuter surgery is typically recommended around 6 months of age, before they reach sexual maturity. Early-age surgery helps prevent unwanted behaviors and reduces the risk of certain health conditions.
For large-breed dogs, we may suggest waiting a bit longer—around 9 to 15 months—to allow for more complete musculoskeletal development. Our veterinarians will evaluate your pet’s specific needs and recommend the safest timing based on their growth, lifestyle, and risk factors.
