Health Benefits of Spaying and Neutering

Having your female pet spayed eliminates the risk of potentially fatal uterine infections known as pyometra and significantly reduces the risk of mammary cancer. This is especially true when a dog or cat is spayed before her first heat cycle. Neutering male pets prevents testicular cancer and reduces the risk of prostate issues. Both procedures lower the risk of endocrine disorders like diabetes.

Spaying and neutering often improve behavior, too. Neutered males are less likely to roam, mark territory, or show aggression toward other animals, and spayed females won’t experience heat cycles, making them less likely to howl or roam. These changes can make sharing your home with your pet even more enjoyable and reduce the risk of escape attempts that could lead to injury or loss.

What to Expect

Safe, compassionate surgical care for pets

We typically recommend spaying or neutering pets between four and six months of age, but the timing may vary based on breed, size, and individual health factors. Before surgery, we perform a pre-anesthetic examination and recommend blood work to ensure your pet is healthy enough for anesthesia.

During the procedure, we continuously monitor your pet’s vital signs and use modern pain management protocols to keep your pet comfortable. Most pets go home the same day with pain medication and recovery instructions. The recovery period typically lasts 10-14 days, during which you’ll need to limit your pet’s activity and monitor the incision site.
