Congrats-and-Thanks for Spay/Neutering !!!

[Alysser]

Sassy was spayed about 3 months after we got her. She was 8 weeks when we got her so that means she was about 5 months old. All of my dogs/cats in the future will be spayed to. Star is a bird so she can't be spayed.

[Corinna]

All 3 cats and all 3 dogs fixed. Tyson the longest before being done 8 months old (just had gotten him) Lady and Dugan were done when we got them. Winky (17yrold ) was done at 8months. Ebony at 6months when she wondered in . Tupkin 12yrs done before we adopted here.

Niño was neutered at the shelter a few weeks before we met him, (6-8 months) but even if he wasn't he wold have been before leaving the shelter. It's their good policy.
Oslo the bunny will never be neutered because he is a show bunny and hopefully the begining of my rabbitry.

That's the policy at the one I get Jenny at too. But she was spayed by her previous owners anyways.

I've never heard of a rabbitry, Is it like a breeder for rabbits?

A question: Do you prefer to alter dogs before their first heat, or after?

I prefer before.

[My Peanuts]

All 4 dogs are fixed.

Sylvia was done at about 11months old. The vet said to do it at about 9 months, but she went into heat so we had to wait. I would have prefer before her heat and if I had it to do all over again she would have been spayed at 6 months old. She has never had a litter.

Harley was done the day we adopted him. He was 1 year old.

Morty was done before we got him when he was living with the foster mom. Morty was about 11 months when he was neutered.

Jimmy was done 6 months after he was rescued. He had heartworms and we couldn't do the surgery until he tested negative. Jimmy was 3 years old when he was neutered.

As far as I know, the boys never fathered any litters. Jimmy was on the streets unfixed for years, so I would think he's a daddy. They have NEVER fathered any litters while they were with us. It felt so good after Jimmy was fixed. All of them were done!

All of my boys are neutered except my new boy, Snoopy. He goes in on Friday! And both of my cats are fixed as well!

Neutered pets not only help with over pet population, but they honestly do make BETTER pets!

[dukedogsmom]

All my animals have been spayed/neutered.
Duke: neutered at 6 months

[wolf_Q]

Nebo was neutered at 4 months. He's the only dog I've personally been responsible for and paid to have it done.

Sydney was spayed when my sister had her...she was still a pup, I'd say around 6 months or earlier.

Reggie was not neutered until after we got Nebo (and no we did not breed him or let him roam my parents just didn't understand the need to do it...they have since learned) I think that would make him about 9 years old when it was done.

My pets will always been spayed/neutered.

[Tollers-n-Dobes]

Tango was spayed at 7 months, much sooner than I'd have liked. Tia was spayed at 6 months, Morgan at 10 weeks (which IMO is waaay too young), and Winston was neutered at 6 1/2 years (before we adopted him).

I prefer to spay dogs after their first heat and my age preference is around 18 months or so to allow for proper growth and development. All of my future dogs will be spayed after their first heats, and somewhere between this age if I'm not showing them. If I ever have another male, the same age will apply.

[I_luv_rusty]

Rusty is neutered, not sure how old he was when he got neutered. But he was neutered when we got him when he was around 3,4 years old.

[GreyhoundGirl]

Neutered pets not only help with over pet population, but they honestly do make BETTER pets!

I agree !

[CathyBogart]

Jasper is about three, and he was neutered about nine days ago by the shelter.

[sammy101]

Both mine were spayed and neutered at 5 months.

[GreyhoundGirl]

BUMP. I really hope more people than that are spay/neutering.

I *think* Sadie was spayed at 6 months, but I'm not completley sure.
Rita will be spayed, just need to make an appointment. Although... I would love to show her.
