What Is Spay and Neutering?

Cat or dog neutering and spaying are routine surgeries performed worldwide that effectively eliminate the possibility of reproduction in both male and female pets. Spaying is performed on female animals and involves surgically removing the uterus and ovaries, which removes the chance of pregnancy. Neutering is performed on males and involves the surgical removal of the testicles to end fertility. Spay and neutering are primarily performed on pets who are at least six months old.

Important Reasons to Spay Neuter Your Pets

Reproductive surgeries are some of the most important procedures you can give your pet. It can improve their behavior, longevity, and help to stabilize the animal community as a whole. Many pet owners understand the primary function of a spay and neuter procedure, but there are numerous other surprising advantages it can bring your animal companion. Here are some other benefits of spaying or neutering your pet:

Decreases the desire for pets to roam and seek mates
Reduces pet overpopulation and pet euthanasia
Lessens the risk of mammary gland tumors

Our Efficient Spay & Neutering Process

Our practice offers thorough wellness exams, which involve carefully checking your animal from head to tail. This preliminary exam helps our skilled team determine if your pet is ready for a successful surgery, which includes verifying their core vaccination status and ensuring they are safe to undergo our reliable anesthesia services. Once your pet is ready for surgery, we will schedule a date for the operation.

Cat or dog neutering and spaying surgeries typically only last for a few hours, with no overnight stay necessary. We will plan your pet’s drop-off for the morning and have them ready for pickup by the afternoon. Your pet may experience some discomfort for the following few days. Rest assured, our caring and knowledgeable team will provide basic medications with additional options available after further discussion. We also offer post-surgery cones, vests, and microchipping services for purchase if needed.
