What age can I desex my puppy/kitten?

Puppies and kittens can be desexed anytime from 4 months of age onwards. We recommend desexing between 4-6 months of age. With female puppies and kittens, we do try and spey them before their first heat as this can greatly reduce their risk of developing mammary cancer in future. For large breed dogs, we may recommend waiting to desex them until they are closer to fully grown. The procedure is usually a day procedure and we find young animals generally make a very speedy recovery from their procedure.
