Spay &amp; Neuter: Caring for Your Pet and Preventing Unplanned Litters Spaying and neutering are among the most common—and most important—procedures we offer for dogs and cats. These safe, routine surgeries help prevent unwanted pregnancies while supporting your pet’s long-term health and behavior.Whether you’ve just adopted a young puppy or kitten, or you're considering the procedure for an adult pet, spay and neuter services play a key role in responsible pet care.What Is Spaying or Neutering?<ul><li>Spaying refers to the surgical removal of the ovaries and uterus in female pets.</li><li>Neutering (also called castration) refers to the removal of the testicles in male pets.</li></ul>Both procedures are performed under general anesthesia and are typically completed in a single day. Pets usually recover quickly, with most returning to normal activity within a few days.Why It MattersSpay and neuter procedures offer a wide range of benefits for both pets and pet parents:Health Benefits:<ul><li>Reduces the risk of certain cancers (mammary, uterine, testicular)</li><li>Eliminates the risk of life-threatening uterine infections (pyometra)</li><li>Can lead to a longer, healthier life</li></ul>Behavioral Benefits:<ul><li>Decreases hormone-driven behaviors like marking, roaming, and vocalizing</li><li>May reduce aggression or dominance behaviors in some pets</li></ul>Community Benefits:<ul><li>Help prevent overpopulation and the strain on shelters and rescues</li><li>Reduces the number of homeless animals in the community</li></ul>When Should My Pet Be Spayed or Neutered?Most pets are spayed or neutered between 4 to 6 months of age, but timing can vary based on breed, size, and individual health. Your veterinarian will guide you on the ideal timing based on your pet’s needs.What to Expect<ol type="1"><li>Pre-surgical exam and bloodwork to ensure your pet is healthy for anesthesia</li><li>Safe anesthesia protocol tailored to your pet's size, age, and breed</li><li>Surgical sterilization performed by an experienced veterinary team in a sterile environment</li><li>Monitoring and pain control throughout the procedure and during recovery</li><li>Discharge instructions and home care plan to help your pet heal comfortably</li></ol>We also provide optional post-operative checkups to ensure the incision is healing properly and that your pet is back to their usual self.<div data-type="horizontalRule"><hr></div>Spaying or neutering is a simple procedure that leads to lifelong health and behavioral benefits.
