Spay & Neuter Is Good For Los Angeles Spaying and Neutering are humane and life affirming means of ending euthanasia of healthy, adoptable pets. In February 2008, the City Council of Los Angeles approved a new law that requires all cats and dogs in the City to be spayed or neutered after the age of four months, with some specific exemptions allowed. The spay and neuter ordinance enables LA Animal Services to hold accountable pet owners whose irresponsibility threatens public safety and contributes to our shelters being overcrowded and filled with unwanted and abandoned animals. By having your dog or cat spayed or neutered, you're helping to prevent the birth of unwanted puppies and kittens who end up in shelters while also providing health and behavioral benefits to your furry friend.

Can you neuter a dog without surgery?Zeuterin is a nonsurgical form of neutering, the only such procedure approved for dogs 3 to 10 months of age by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Neutering by needle works by injecting a solution of zinc gluconate into each testicle, rendering it incapable of producing sperm.
Do male dogs change after being neutered?Behavioral Changes in a Dog After Being Neutered
Removing the testicles removes the largest source of testosterone in the body. This results in a decrease in sexually driven behaviors in your dog: urine marking, escaping to seek female dogs, and aggression toward other male dogs.
How much does it cost to spay a dog?While there are a lot of variables, spaying will typically run $50–$500. Costs at the low end of that spectrum are typically subsidized through a public agency. "There are many low-cost spay and neuter clinics around the country to help make the process more accessible to all pet owners," Moore says.
