Spaying and neutering are safe, common procedures that can greatly improve your pet’s health and quality of life. Having your pet sterilized at a young age reduces the risk of infections and cancers, prevents unwanted behaviors like aggression or roaming, and helps reduce pet overpopulation. For females, it eliminates the risk of pyometra and significantly lowers the chance of mammary tumors. For males, it prevents testicular cancer and prostate problems.
During surgery, your pet is placed under general anesthesia, and small incisions are made to remove reproductive organs. The incision is closed with sutures, and your pet is monitored until they’re ready to go home. Afterward, your pet may need to wear a protective collar and might seem tired or have mild swelling near the site. These are normal parts of recovery, but if you notice anything concerning, we will be there to guide you and ensure your pet heals comfortably!
