Weeks or months of slightly slower growth alternate with mini growth spurts in most children. Kids actually tend to grow a bit faster in the spring than during other times of the year!

Spaying is the process whereby a veterinarian surgically removes your petâs ovaries and uterus. Itâs best if pets are spayed around 6 months of age, although new research suggests that large breed dogs should be spayed later, around 18-22 months, to help reduce risk for cancer and joint problems.
