We Spay and Neuter Based on Your Pet’s Individual Needs
Aurora Veterinary Care takes your pet’s individual health and needs seriously. We do not recommend spay and neuter surgeries for every pet, or based on the pet's age alone. Additional factors, such as size/weight, breed, temperament, and overall health also play an important role in determining the best timeframe for your pet’s procedure.
