Important Reasons to Spay or Neuter Your Pet

Spaying or neutering is a routine reproductive surgery that provides numerous other health and behavioral benefits for your animal. Here are some reasons to spay or neuter your pet:

Decrease aggressive behavior in male pets
Decrease the desire for pets to roam and seek mates
Decrease pet overpopulation and pet euthanasia
Decrease the risk of mammary gland tumors
Eliminate heat cycles, bleeding, and calling for a mate
Eliminate or reduce marking or spraying
Reducing the risk of ovarian and uterine cancers
Reducing the risk of prostate cancer and testicular cancer

Our Spaying & Neutering Process

Our effective spay and neuter procedures will successfully prevent your animal from reproducing. Spaying is a surgical procedure for female animals and involves removing the uterus and ovaries, permanently halting the possibility of pregnancy. Neutering is a surgery performed on male animals involving the removal of the testicles to eliminate fertility.

We will perform thorough preliminary exams to ensure your pet is in good health and ready for a successful surgery. Our team will run bloodwork and a physical examination to confirm that no underlying issues exist that could create complications while your pet is under anesthesia. Once we've concluded your cat or dog is a good candidate for the procedure, we will schedule the surgery for another day, where your pet will be dropped off in the morning and picked up by the evening.

Spaying and Neutering FAQs

If you have questions or concerns about our process, we are always available to provide answers. Some frequently asked questions regarding a spay and neuter procedure includes:

What are some tips to help my pet through post-operation recovery?

Your pet may experience some discomfort for the following few days after the procedure. We can provide tips to keep them relaxed and prescribe pain medications as needed. Here are some tips that should be followed to ease your pet's recovery:

Your pet should do little to no running or jumping for the next few days
Make sure to examine the incision daily to ensure its healing properly
Keep your pet confined from other animals and allow them to have a quiet resting place
Prevent your pet from licking the surgical site by keeping close to them or using a cone
Wait at least ten days after surgery to bathe your pet

Are there any risks to spaying or neutering?

Spaying and neutering procedures are generally safe, but occasionally there are risk factors like any other surgery. Older pets, overweight pets, puppies that have had their first heat, and pets with unknown underlying health issues are at mild risk. Our veterinarians are adamant about running thorough blood tests and physical exams to ensure your pet is ready for surgery.

Do Pets Become Overweight After a Spay or Neuter Procedure?

This is a common misconception. In some cases, the metabolism may slow down a bit after the procedure and pets are prone to becoming more docile. However, with the right diet and regular exercise, its unlikely your pet will become overweight.
