Why Spaying and Neutering Matters

Spaying (for female pets) and neutering (for male pets) are routine surgical procedures that prevent reproduction by removing the pet’s reproductive organs. Beyond population control, these procedures offer proven health and behavioral benefits.

Our spay and neuter services are recommended for:

  • Puppies and kittens once they reach the appropriate age and weight
  • Adult pets not intended for breeding
  • Pets adopted from shelters that require sterilization as part of the adoption agreement

Health and Behavioral Benefits

Spaying and neutering help pets lead healthier, more comfortable lives. These procedures reduce the risk of several serious conditions and may also improve behavior.

Health Benefits:

  • Spayed females are less likely to develop uterine infections and mammary tumors
  • Neutered males are protected from testicular cancer and some prostate issues
  • Decreased risk of hormone-related complications in later life

Behavioral Benefits:

  • Reduced urge to roam in search of a mate
  • Decreased marking, mounting, and aggression in many male dogs
  • Fewer vocalizations and behavioral swings in female cats during heat cycles

Dog Neutering: What to Expect

Dog neutering is a common procedure performed under general anesthesia. Your dog will receive a full physical exam prior to surgery, and our team will walk you through the recovery process. Most dogs return to normal activity within 10–14 days.

Post-surgery care includes:

  • Monitoring the incision site for swelling or discharge
  • Limiting physical activity during healing
  • Using an e-collar if needed to prevent licking

Our staff is available to answer any questions during recovery. If you’re ready to take the next step, book appointment to discuss your pet’s spay or neuter procedure.

When to Schedule Spay or Neuter Surgery

The ideal time to spay or neuter your pet depends on their age, breed, and overall health. Puppies and kittens are typically ready around 5–6 months of age. However, timing may vary based on size and development.

It’s also never too late for adult pets to be spayed or neutered. If your pet is older or has an existing health condition, we’ll perform a full evaluation before recommending the best course of action.
