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.
Spaying is done at all ages. At some humane facilities and animal shelters, spaying is being done when pets are 6 to 8 weeks old so that no adopted pets will have unwanted litters. Pets spayed by the family veterinarian are traditionally scheduled for surgery between 5 and 10 months of age.The smaller the breed, the more quickly the female matures, so that spaying of small dogs is best done at 5-6 months of age.The larger breeds mature more slowly so that spaying can be delayed until the pet is closer to one year of age.Thus, Chihuahuas may be spayed at 5 months of age and Bull Mastiffs may be safely spayed when 10-12 months of age.Spaying before the dog is mature ensures she does not go through estrus and become pregnant.he larger breeds mature more slowly so that spaying can be delayed until the pet is closer to one year of age.
