The Benefits of Spaying and Neutering Your Pet Before Summer

We at Pet - Agreed Wellness Services are proud to serve the Gordonsville, TN, area with compassionate pet care. Our pet clinic offers everything your pet needs, from puppy and kitten care and preventive care to pet surgery and grooming.

Unfortunately, as an elective surgery, pet owners may not be sure if spay and neuter is best for their pet, when they should have it done, or at what age. Thankfully, you can be sure that the team at our animal clinic will answer those questions and help you make the decision that's right for your pet.

What Season Is Best to Spay and Neuter Your Pet?

Most of us know that the main reason for spaying or neutering is to prevent unwanted litters that add to the overpopulated unwanted pet community. Additionally, spaying and neutering can also come with many health benefits, meaning that is almost always recommended when getting a new pet.

While pets can reproduce during any season of the year, spring and summer are the times in which pets will be most often outdoors and, therefore, when they are more likely to try and mate. That means getting your pet spayed or neutered before summer can reduce the chances of your pet becoming pregnant or getting another pet pregnant.

Another benefit to having your pet fixed before summer is that it can be more convenient for both your family and your pet. The surgery will have your pet out of commission for sometime. He or she will have stitches, and won't be able to run, jump, or play. You'll need to ensure the incision site and stitches stay clean and dry. Nobody wants to be stuck inside lying in bed during great summer days and that includes your pet. So having the surgery done by a vet near you before summer can help ensure your pet can go out and play, take walks with you, and even go swimming.
