In an effort to help your pet live a healthy life, we provide spay and neuter services. Choosing to spay or neuter
your new pet is one of the most responsible decisions you can make as a pet owner. Spaying and neutering pets is
estimated to add years to your pet’s life in decreasing or eliminating their chances of getting certain cancers; it
also helps decrease the amount of animals in shelters and the number of euthanized pets each year.
With statistics indicating that nearly 4 million pets in the United States are put down annually, we believe spaying
and neutering animals is a productive initiative. In providing these services, we hope to prolong pets’ lives and help
the community in preventing pet overpopulation.
Both spaying and neutering are surgical procedures that prevent an animal from reproducing. Spaying and neutering are
typically recommended for pets that are at least 6 months old and are not going to be used for breeding. Spaying is
performed on female animals and involves surgically removing the uterus and ovaries to prevent pregnancy. Neutering is
implemented on male animals and encompasses removing the testicles to eliminate fertility. While each of these
surgeries sound involved, they can usually be completed within a few hours and do not require an overnight hospital
stay.
Your pet may experience increased discomfort in the days following surgery. Depending on your pet’s surgery, pain
medication can be prescribed. These tips should be followed to ease your pet’s recovery:
