SUPPORTING LONG-TERM HEALTH AND WELL-BEING
These routine surgeries help prevent certain medical problems, reduce unwanted litters, and can even improve behavior. Our team is here to answer your questions and help you choose the right timing for your dog or cat.
Why spaying and neutering matter
Spay and neuter procedures offer both health and community benefits, including:
- Reduced risk of cancers of the reproductive system
- Fewer uterine infections and prostate issues
- Decreased roaming, marking, and some hormone-driven behaviors
- Helping prevent unwanted litters and reducing pressure on local shelters
We’ll talk you through the benefits in the context of your pet’s breed, age, and lifestyle so you can make an informed choice.
What to expect before surgery
Before your pet’s spay or neuter, we’ll:
- Perform a full physical examination
- Same-day ECG
- Recommend pre-anesthetic blood work to check organ function
- Review your pet’s medical history and any medications
- Provide fasting and drop-off instructions
Our goal is to ensure your pet is a safe candidate for anesthesia and that you feel prepared for the day of surgery.
During the procedure
Spay (for females) and neuter (for males) surgeries are performed under general anesthesia:
- Your pet is monitored closely using appropriate equipment and hands-on nursing care
- Pain relief is provided before, during, and after surgery
- The procedure is performed in a sterile environment with modern surgical equipment
We treat every surgical patient as if they were our own, prioritizing comfort and safety at all times.
Recovery and aftercare
After surgery, we’ll:
- Monitor your pet as they wake up from anesthesia
- Review pain medications and home care instructions with you
- Explain how to monitor the incision and activity levels
- Schedule any recommended follow-up visits
Most pets recover quickly with appropriate rest and supervision at home.
