Beyond reproduction, spaying or neutering significantly reduces the risk of serious health issues. In females, it helps prevent uterine infections and lowers the risk of breast tumors. In males, it can prevent testicular cancer and prostate disease. It also minimizes hormone-driven behaviors like spraying, mounting, aggression, and roaming.
By choosing to spay or neuter your pet, you’re not only improving their daily comfort. You’re helping reduce the number of strays and abandoned animals in our communities.
The Procedure: What to Expect
Spaying or neutering is a safe, routine procedure that offers lifelong health and behavioral benefits. Here’s what you can expect every step of the way.
Before the Procedure
We begin with a full health assessment to ensure your pet is fit for surgery.
Depending on age or medical history, we may recommend pre-anesthetic blood tests. Our team will also guide you through fasting instructions and answer any questions you may have about the process
During the Procedure
Your pet is placed under general anesthesia and closely monitored throughout the entire procedure
Spay (female): Removal of the ovaries and uterus
Neuter (male): Removal of the testicles
Our vets follow strict surgical protocols in a sterile environment to ensure your pet’s safety and comfort at every step.
After the Procedure
Most pets return home the same day. Recovery usually takes 7 to 10 days, and we’ll send you home with pain medication and clear aftercare instructions. To support healing, we recommend:
Limiting activity for a few days
Using a cone or a recovery suit to prevent licking
Monitoring the incision site for any swelling or redness
Our team will check in with you after surgery and schedule a follow-up if needed.
When is the best time to spay or neuter my pet?
Most pets are ready between 4 to 6 months of age, before they reach sexual maturity. However, older pets can still benefit from the procedure, provided they undergo proper evaluation. Early spaying or neutering can help prevent certain health and behavioral issues, especially in high-risk breeds. Our vets will assess your pet’s age, breed, and medical history to recommend the safest and most appropriate timing.
How much does neutering cost?
Our neutering prices are based on your pet’s weight, sex, and species. All procedures are performed under general anesthesia and are conducted by our experienced veterinary team. Final pricing may vary depending on your pet’s weight, condition and any additional care required.
