What Is Spaying and Neutering?

Spaying and neutering are effective ways to terminate reproduction in both male and female pets. Spaying and neutering pets is a responsible service as it can improve their behavior and longevity, and help stabilize the animal community as a whole. Our precise surgical procedures will permanently prevent your animal from reproducing and are primarily performed on pets who are at least four to six months of age.

Spaying is a surgical procedure performed on female animals to carefully remove the uterus and ovaries, terminating any possibility of pregnancy. Neutering is a surgery performed on males to remove the testicles to end fertility.

Important Reasons to Spay and Neuter Your Pets

Spaying and neutering can offer various benefits for your pets that go beyond ending reproductive function, such as adding years to their life and decreasing the possibility of certain cancers. Here are some reasons why it’s important to spay and neuter your cats and dogs:

Decreases aggressive behavior in male pets

Decreases the desire for pets to roam and seek mates

Decreases pet overpopulation and pet euthanasia

Decreases the risk of mammary gland tumors

Eliminates heat cycles, bleeding, and calling for a mate

Eliminates or reduces marking or spraying

Reduces the risk of ovarian and uterine cancers

Reduces the risk of prostate cancer and testicular cancer

Our Spaying & Neutering Process

We start the process by providing a thorough exam for your cats and dogs to ensure they are healthy enough for a successful surgery and to safely undergo our sedation services. Our seasoned veterinary team will run a head-to-tail physical check with additional bloodwork provided in our laboratory.

Once we’ve concluded that your furry loved one is ready to proceed with services, we will schedule an operation. Cat and dog spay and neuter services only take a few hours, with drop off and pickup made easy by using our 24/7 availability as an advantage to work around your busy schedule.

Spaying and Neutering FAQs

We know you’re a concerned pet parent. Our friendly and knowledgeable team is happy to answer your questions and address your concerns, never leaving you in the dark throughout the procedure. Some frequently asked questions we get about spaying and neutering include:

 Are spay and neuter procedures safe?

Spaying and neutering are standard procedures performed worldwide. We stay current on all modern techniques and technology to ensure our surgeries are safe and effective. Side effects are generally uncommon, but there are risks associated with older pets, overweight pets, and pets with unknown underlying health issues.

Do animals commonly gain weight after a spay or neuter surgery?

This is a common misconception. While most pets become more docile after a spay or neuter procedure, with the right diet and regular exercise, your pet should retain a healthy weight for their lifetime.

My pet has recently given birth; how long should I wait to get her spayed?

If your pet has just given birth to a litter, we recommend waiting eight to ten weeks before visiting our office. Once the milk has stopped producing, bring your pet into our practice, and we will evaluate if she is ready to undergo a safe and successful spay surgery.
