Vets suggest twice-yearly checkups for older pets, but what about the babies? For dogs, the standard age to be able to spay or neuter is 6-9 months, with that being said, puppies as young as 8 weeks old can be spayed or neutered if they are healthy. As for cats, the rule of thumb is typically anytime after 8 weeks. Always check with your vet to determine the best time to get your fur baby “fixed.” So often kittens and puppies go without being spayed or neutered due to the spay and neuter cost.

When you get a new pet in your life, the issue of whether to spay or neuter your new addition is going to come up. Spaying services are for female animals, and often this procedure costs more than a neuter procedure, which is performed on male animals. This is because spaying an animal is more invasive than neutering. It’s the spay and neuter cost that keeps many pet owners from having this service performed on their animals. But there is a cost to not having these procedures done as well.
Right now, there are more than 75 million pet dogs in the U.S. alone. That’s more than any other country, and that’s a huge number of canines running around in the world. Unlike humans, dogs and cats do not give birth to just one offspring at a time. Unless there is something wrong with the health of the parent animal, new puppies and kittens are born in litters. Typically, four to six new animals will be born every time a dog or cat gets pregnant. Also unlike humans, dogs and cats get pregnant and give birth in a matter of weeks. This means that a healthy female cat or dog can give birth multiple times in a single year, while most humans will give birth just once to a single offspring during this same amount of time.
It’s no secret Americans love their pets. In fact, there are more than 75 million pet dogs in the United States. That’s more than in any other country.
