When should I have my pet Spayed or Neutered?
There are different opinions about what age is the best to spay and neuter young animals. If your pet is grown, the time to spay or neuter is now! Kittens can go into season and become pregnant as young as 4 months and puppies can go into season and become pregnant as young as 6 months. For this reason, it is best to schedule the surgery when the last puppy and kitten shots are given. Spaying and neutering by at least 5 months of age ensures that no accidental litters are born to young, unaltered animals. Emancipet of Austin provides affordable spay and neuter surgeries and holds mobile clinic services monthly in Bastrop and quarterly in Elgin and Smithville.
