It is generally recommended to have your pet spay or neutered in their first year. Your veterinarian can provide more information on the best time to have your pet spayed or neutered based on breed, age, and other factors. Our spay/neuter surgeries are never done assembly-line style, and the health and wellbeing of your pet is always our top priority. We treat them like we would our own, even when it comes to the most routine surgeries.
There are many benefits to spaying your female companion. First, you will contribute to the prevention of the dog and cat overpopulation. Second, spaying will eliminate the sometimes “messy” heat cycles that attract male dogs to your house from miles away. Third, you will help prevent diseases in your pet such as pyometra (infection in the uterus) and mammary cancer. Spaying involves surgical removal of both ovaries and the uterus. It can be performed under a number of anesthetics and monitoring devices.
Pre-anesthetic blood testing is strongly recommended but not required.
