This really needs to be shared. As a primarily end-of-life vet the last 10 years, it's ok to say no.

✂️🥜🐶 WHAT IF WHEN YOU SPAY OR NEUTER YOUR DOG MATTERS JUST AS MUCH AS WHETHER YOU DO IT?

Preventing unwanted litters matters. But is it time to rethink HOW we sterilize dogs? Hormone-sparing procedures, including hysterectomy and vasectomy, can prevent reproduction while preserving natural s*x hormones.

🔬 NEW 2026 PEER-REVIEWED RESEARCH

Over 10 years, researchers reviewed records from 56,254 veterinary patients, including 313 dogs with mast cell tumors and 638 tumor-free comparison dogs. The study was accepted for publication in The Veterinary Journal.

🤯 1. TIMING MATTERS!

Dogs spayed or neutered before age 2 had 343% higher odds of a mast cell tumor diagnosis compared with intact dogs. Dogs sterilized after age 2 showed no statistically significant increase.

🐕 2. SIZE MATTERS!

Compared with small dogs, medium dogs had 2.6 times the odds and large dogs 5.2 times the odds.

⚖️ 3. WEIGHT MATTERS!

Overweight dogs had 80% higher odds than dogs at an ideal weight.

🧬 4. BREED MATTERS!

Compared with mixed-breed dogs, American Pit Bull Terriers had 7.5 times the odds and Boxers 3.9 times. Some breed groups were small.

❤️ 5. WHAT ABOUT SURVIVAL?

Neutering status wasn’t significantly associated with survival after surgery. Tumor grade and size were more important predictors.

🔬 WHY MIGHT HORMONES MATTER?

S*x hormones influence immune function and development. Researchers propose that early hormone removal and changes in luteinizing hormone (LH) may play a role, but this remains unproven.

🐾 THE BIG TAKEAWAY

Preventing unwanted litters doesn’t always mean removing hormone-producing organs. It’s time for individualized conversations with veterinarians about WHEN and HOW we sterilize dogs.

As a colleague and frequent visitor to this practice, I am very happy to see this message to their clientele. After much research early after the release this drug, I stopped recommending its use nearly 2 years ago and am happy that they have joined in.

Dear Valued Client,

At Eau Gallie Veterinary Hospital, the health, safety, and well-being of your pets have always been our highest priority.

We are writing to inform you that, after careful consideration and review of reported safety concerns associated with Librela (bedinvetmab), we have made the decision to discontinue offering this medication at our hospital.

While Librela has provided relief for some dogs suffering from osteoarthritis pain, emerging reports of potential adverse reactions have raised concerns that we feel warrant a more cautious approach. As a veterinary team, we believe it is our responsibility to continually evaluate the medications and treatments we offer to ensure we are making decisions in the best interests of our patients.

If your dog is currently receiving Librela injections, we encourage you to contact your veterinarian to discuss alternative pain management options. There are other treatments and therapies available that may help maintain your pet's comfort, mobility, and quality of life.

Please understand that this decision does not mean every dog receiving Librela will experience adverse effects. Rather, it reflects our commitment to patient safety and our responsibility to carefully weigh the potential risks and benefits of the treatments we provide.

We appreciate your understanding and continued trust in our veterinary team. Our goal remains the same: to provide compassionate, thoughtful, and high-quality medical care for every pet entrusted to us.

Sincerely,

The Doctors and Staff
Eau Gallie Veterinary Hospital
