OCTOBER 24, 2026 - 9:30 AM ET - LIVE ON ZOOM
Spayed, Neutered, or Still Deciding?
What the hormone research means for your dog and cat?
A free live webinar with Dr. Ruth Roberts, DVM
📅 Saturday, October 24 | 9:30–10:30 am ET (8:30 CT, 7:30 MT, 6:30 PT) | Live on Zoom
No sales pitch. Just research, real talk, and real answers.
WHY THIS WEBINAR, WHY NOW
You've probably seen the conversation exploding online. Dr. Judy Morgan's podcast episode on spay-neuter hormones just passed 79,000 views, and the comments all ask the same thing:
"Okay, but what do I do instead?"
That's exactly what this hour answers. Spaying and neutering affect more than reproduction. The ovaries and testes make hormones that help guide the joints, thyroid, immune system, and brain. Whether your pet is a puppy, a senior, already spayed, or still intact, this webinar gives you clear answers and a plan you can take to your vet.

What we know, and don't know yet, about cats
HOW I TEACH IT
No scare tactics. Every claim in this webinar is labeled:
Research shows: what published studies found
Clinical experience: what I've seen in 36 years of practice
Open question: what nobody knows yet
You deserve to know how strong the evidence is behind every recommendation, including mine.
OUR SOURCE:
INDEPENDENT, RIGOROUS RESEARCH
Every claim traces back to the Parsemus Foundation, an independent nonprofit funding and publishing research on hormone-sparing sterilization and hormone restoration. You'll leave with a free copy of their guardian guide, so you can bring real research to your own vet, not just a strong opinion.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING THE LIVE CALL
Our team is live in the chat the whole time, answering logistics questions and collecting yours for Q&A
Resource links (including the free Parsemus guide) are dropped right when Dr. Ruth references them

FAQ's
Is it really free?
Yes
Is this a sales pitch?
No. This is education first. If you want to go further afterward, that's shared too, but nothing is required.
Will there be a replay?
Yes, for a limited time, so register even if you can't make it live.
Do I need Zoom?
Your link arrives by email. Zoom works in any browser or phone.
Is this anti-spay?
No. Options that keep hormones still prevent litters. This is about making the best choice for your pet.
What if my pet is already spayed or neutered? Is it too late?
Not at all. A large part of this webinar is specifically for guardians of altered pets, what to watch for and how to support their hormone health starting today.
Is this about cats too?
Yes. We'll cover what we know and what we don't.
Does this replace my vet's advice?
Never. This webinar is designed to help you ask better questions at your next visit, not replace veterinary care.
Your pet's hormones matter more than a single surgery date.
