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.
