When should we neuter?

Joe

We normally advise neutering male dogs at 6-9 months of age and female dogs at about 6 months of age, before their first season/heat. The exception is some large breed bitches who we prefer to neuter 2-3 months after their first season. The veterinary surgeon is happy to discuss the ins and outs of neutering for your individual pet.

We normally advise neutering male and female cats at 5-6 months of age.
