What Is a Spay or Neuter for Pets?

Spaying and neutering are surgical procedures that will permanently prevent your animal from reproducing. They are primarily performed on pets who are at least four to six months of age.

Spaying is a surgical procedure performed on female animals and involves removing the uterus and ovaries to permanently halt the possibility of pregnancy. Neutering is a surgery performed on males and involves removing the testicles to terminate fertility. Getting your pet spayed or neutered is a responsible procedure for your beloved furry family member, as it can improve their behavior and longevity and help stabilize the animal community as a whole.

Important Reasons to Spay or Neuter Your Pet

Reproductive surgeries can dramatically reduce homeless animals and pets in shelters needing to be euthanized every year. Spaying and neutering are beneficial surgeries that can add years to your pet’s life. Here are some additional benefits of this procedure:

  • Decreases aggressiveness in male pets
  • Decreases desire to roam and seek mates
  • Eliminates heat cycles, bleeding, and the act of calling for a mate
  • Eliminates or reduces marking or spraying
  • Eliminates the risk of ovarian and uterine cancers
  • Reduces the risk of mammary gland tumors
  • Reduces the risk of prostate cancer and testicular cancer

Our Cat and Dog Spay and Neuter Process

Spaying and neutering are sensitive surgeries that require the confident hands of a seasoned professional. We begin the process by providing a thorough wellness exam, which involves carefully checking your animal from head to tail. Our team can run detailed blood tests and internal examinations, utilizing digital x-rays and our in-office laboratory to ensure a successful surgery and to conclude they can safely undergo anesthesia.

We’ll have you sign a consent form, and then surgery will be scheduled when you are free to drop your pet off in the morning and pick them up in the afternoon. Our team will let you know when your pet is ready to be picked up and brought home so that the healing process can begin. Your pet may experience some discomfort for the following few days, but we can provide tips, prescribe pain medications, and offer collar and cone products to help them stay away from the incision zone while it heals.

Spay and Neuter for Pets FAQs

We know you are a concerned pet parent. If you have questions or concerns about our process, we are happy to provide answers. Some questions we frequently get asked regarding spay and neutering services include:

Will my pet become lethargic or gain weight after surgery?

This is a common misconception. While many pets become more docile after a spay or neuter procedure, with the right diet and regular exercise, your pet should retain a healthy weight throughout their lifetime.

My pet just gave birth; when is it safe to get them spayed?

If your pet has recently given birth, you should wait at least eight weeks before they receive a spay surgery. After the young ones have been weaned off the mother’s milk and it has stopped producing, contact our practice for a careful examination.

Do reproduction surgeries cause my pet to become less affectionate?

No. Once your pet has been freed from the powerful urge to mate, they tend to become more calm and even show more affection to their owners.
