DOGS
  • If a dog is spayed when it is less than 6 months of age, it has a 0.5% risk of developing breast cancer in its lifetime.
  • If a dog is spayed after 1 heat cycle only, it has an 8% chance of developing breast cancer in its lifetime.
  • If a dog goes through more than 2 heat cycles, than it has a 26% chance of developing breast cancer in its lifetime.
  • To reduce the incidence of breast cancer in pets, we recommend spaying dogs or cats before 1 year of age.
