• EP11 - The BEST Age To Spay Or Neuter Your Dog

  Text me your question or inquiry here!Hey friends! Between this week's topic and the drama with my chickens... we have lots to discuss. This week we're talking all about spaying and neutering your dog, from tiny puppies to giant breeds, and how making the right call can seriously impact your pet’s long-term health. Additionally, we’ll chat about breed-specific risks like mammary cancer, why I approach spay/neuter differently for every pet, and what to think about when it comes to cats, too. If you’ve ever wondered when the “right time” really is—or just want to feel more confident about the decision—this one’s for you.Do you have a question or inquiry for me?
