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! A major growth spurt happens at the time of puberty, usually between 8 to 13 years of age in girls and 10 to 15 years in boys. Puberty lasts about 2 to 5 years.
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.
Today some vets will spay/neuter at eight weeks of age, while other adhere to the old practice of six months of age. The average age at which pets are spayed or neutered is four months. Adolescent cats and dogs as young as five months can get pregnant.ne can spay a mother as soon as the kittens or pups are weaned, (5 to 6 weeks for kittens and 4 to 5 weeks for puppies) and because of the risk of pregnancy this should be done.
