What Does it Mean to Spay or Neuter and Why Should I Do it?
Spaying is the surgical removal of a female pet's ovaries and usually the uterus which prevents female pets from going into heat and reproducing.
Neutering is the surgical removal of a male pet's testicles. Also known as castration.
Although progress has been made in recent years, millions of unwanted dogs and cats are euthanized each year, including puppies and kittens. The good news is you can make a difference by choosing to have your pet spayed or neutered or adopting one that has already been altered. There are multiple health and behavioral benefits of the procedure including prevention of common infections of the uterus and prostate and certain cancers. We will help you make an informed decision when it comes to spaying or neutering your pet based on the most up-to-date scientific research and take time to make the best decision for you and your pet.
Spay and Neuter
Although there are facilities that perform these procedures in bulk, we are happy to be able to offer your pet individualized care with a dedicated team that is caring for and monitoring your pet before, during and after surgery. We do not cut corners and take all necessary precautions to make sure your pet comes home happy and healthy.
During your pet's spay or neuter is a great time to microchip them, although we can do this at any time, even without anesthesia. Did you know that 1 in 3 pets get lost during their lifetime, and without identification, 90% of them don’t return home? Luckily, this can be prevented through microchipping, as well as by ensuring your address is kept updated.
