Our feelings on early spay/neuter
We feel very strongly about the importance of spaying and neutering all pets.
However, we also urge you to be cautious when choosing the appropriate age to have this life changing procedure done.
In fact, our guarantee is only valid if your pet is not spayed or neutered prior to the age of 9 months.
We feel that the consequences of doing this surgery earlier than 9 months are so substantial that we cannot in good conscience, guarantee that your pet will grow properly and remain free from hip and/or elbow dysplasia.
Here are two very good articles explaining why we feel this way.
