🐾 February is all about responsible pet ownership and spay/neuter awareness!

🐶 Did you know that spaying/neutering (Desexing) your pet has numerous benefits, including preventing certain health issues and contributing to pet population control?

🐶 Did you know, recent studies on desexing in dogs suggest that a one-size-fits-all approach may not be suitable, findings indicate that smaller breeds may benefit from desexing at 6 months, while larger breeds may require consideration and potentially delaying the procedure until they reach 12 months of age, challenging traditional recommendations of desexing all dogs at 6 months. There are many options so please reach out to us to discuss!

🏥 Book your pet's desexing surgery with us this month! 🌟
