Pet Corner @ MSPCA-Angell 🐾

 

FEBRUARY AT THE PET CORNER

Dear Pet Corner A friend gave me a puppy from her dog’s litter and said I should neuter him around six months old. I’m not sure if I should do this or not. Can you help? Spaying and neutering your pet not only helps give your dog or cat a healthier, longer life, but it also helps cut down on animal homelessness. Learn more from Practice Advisor Laura Shields, BS, CVT, CCFP, from Angell at Essex here. Snip, Snip, Hooray! Did you know that the MSPCA-Angell offers low-cost spays and neuters to qualifying individuals? We’ve partnered with the Massachusetts Animal Fund and their Spay/Neuter Voucher Program. The voucher program, which has so far helped more than 20,000 animals, is offered to pet owners through the MSPCA system. Learn more.
