Is Your Pet Struggling After Being Spayed or Neutered? Roxy’s Story Might Sound Familiar

Roxy was just 6 months old when her family did what most pet parents are told is the “right” thing—they had her spayed.

The vet called it routine.
“Best to do it early,” they said.
“It’ll prevent cancer and unwanted litters.”

But just a few months later, Roxy wasn’t herself.

She started gaining weight—even though her food didn’t change.  Her once-lustrous coat turned dull and dry.  She became jumpy and clingy, especially when left alone—something she’d never done before.

The family chalked it up to growing pains.

But then came the UTIs. Over and over again.  Antibiotics offered temporary relief, but the infections kept coming back.

By age two, Roxy was struggling with:

  • Chronic urinary tract infections

  • Joint stiffness (way too early for her breed)

  • Mood swings and increased anxiety

  • Weight gain that wouldn’t budge

Her family was doing everything by the book—so why was their dog falling apart?

The Truth About Early Spay/Neuter Surgery

Here’s what most conventional vets don’t talk about:

The hormones removed during spay and neuter surgeries do more than just control reproduction.

They impact:

  • Bone growth and joint health

  • Metabolism and body condition

  • Mood, emotional regulation, and resilience

  • The immune system’s ability to stay balanced

When these hormones are taken away before the body finishes developing, pets can struggle—sometimes for life.

It’s not your fault. You were following the standard advice.

But there’s a better way forward.

What Turned Roxy’s Health Around

Roxy’s healing didn’t come from another prescription—it came from supporting her body holistically.

Her family chose to work with a holistic pet coach to address the root cause. They focused on:

  • A fresh, whole-food diet

  • Key supplements to support hormone regulation and metabolism

  • Gut and immune support to stop the cycle of infections

  • Gentle detox to reduce inflammation and toxic buildup

And within a few months?

✅ The UTIs stopped
✅Her energy came roaring back
✅ Her coat started glowing again
✅ Her weight leveled out
✅ And she wasn’t glued to her humans 24/7 anymore

Roxy didn’t just improve—she transformed.
