Every year, thousands of stray and unwanted animals are euthanized in shelters—many due to a lack of spaying and neutering. At Moreau Animal Clinic, we strongly support these procedures for both population control and long-term health benefits.
Why It Matters
Health Benefits
- Spaying reduces risk of mammary tumors and prevents uterine infections.
- Neutering prevents testicular cancer and helps reduce prostate issues.
Behavioral Benefits
- Decreased aggression, roaming, and marking behaviors.
Ideal Timing
We do not neuter pets before 6 months of age. For giant breed dogs, we typically recommend waiting until 1–2 years of age, based on individual veterinary guidance to support healthy growth and development.
