When to Spay and Neuter Cats

In this session, Dr. Judy discusses the differences between spaying / neutering cats vs dogs. She points out there have been many more studies done regarding dogs being spayed / neutered later rather than earlier in their life. However, not many studies have been done on this topic for cats. Leaving dogs intact has been found to be beneficial in the prevention of joint disorders and cancers. She recommends ovaries sparing spays for female dogs and leaving the male dogs intact. The hormones have a great function and should be left if at all possible in dogs. Dr. Judy shares about her own dogs and how most of the girls have been spayed later in life and their boy is still intact. For dogs, if you decide to spay or neuter early, you will want to wait at least until they are at least one year old due to the growth plates are not closed until around this time. 18 to 24 months of age is the earlies Dr. Judy recommends spaying or neutering dogs. But cats are different. It's fine to leave male cats intact without any problems. The biggest difficulty with this is that male cats left intact will have smelly urine and they are more likely to spray and mark territory. Female cats left intact until later in life have a high risk of getting mammary cancer with about 95% chance of it being malignant as opposed to dogs being 50%. Due to this, Dr. Judy does recommend spaying girl cats young especially for shelter and rescued feral cats. (recorded 7/19/2021) Need more knowledge?
