Introduced in 1999, teenSMART was the first driver safety program to identify and address the six behavioral and social factors that cause more than 90% of all teen collisions. Today teenSMART remains the most proven and effective driver crash reduction program ever developed, endorsed by more insurance agencies than any other program. teenSMART drivers are safer, more skilled, involved in fewer collisions with fewer injuries, and file fewer insurance claims.
When to Spay or Neuter Your Pet. 1  For dogs: While the traditional age for neutering is six to nine months, puppies as young as eight weeks old can be neutered as long as theyâre healthy. 2  For cats: It is generally considered safe for kittens as young as eight weeks old to be spayed or neutered.
Those of us in the animal sheltering and rescue world usually recommend early-age spay/neuter at 8 weeks of age, or as soon as possible after that. Promoting early-age spay neuter is part of the social responsibility we feel to do all we can to reduce 5,000 dogs and cats euthanized in animal shelters every day. We see the number of puppies and kittens barely 6 months old that come to shelters, suffering from such an early pregnancy.
