What Is a Spay and Neuter Procedure?
Spaying and neutering are two standard veterinary procedures that end the possibility of your pet being able to reproduce. Advancements in modern technology and techniques make spaying and neutering safe and routine surgical procedures that will assist your pet's health and well-being in the long term.
Spaying is performed on female animals and involves surgically removing the uterus and ovaries to permanently halt the possibility of pregnancy. Neutering is performed on males and involves the removal of the testicles, which eliminates fertility entirely.
Why Should I Get My Pet Spay or Neutered?
The primary function of a spay and neuter procedure is commonly known by many pet owners, but few realize the other surprising advantages it can bring your furry friends. Here are some additional benefits to spaying or neutering your pet:
- Decreasing aggressive behavior in male pets
- Decreasing desire to roam and seek mates
- Decreasing the risk of mammary gland tumors
- Eliminating heat cycles, bleeding, and calling for a mate
- Eliminating or reducing marking or spraying
- Reducing the risk of ovarian and uterine cancers
- Reducing the risk of prostate cancer and testicular cancer
Our Spay and Neutering Process
We start the process with a complimentary consultation and preliminary physical exam before scheduling surgery for a few days later. Our team performs spay and neutering procedures during the day and will have your pet ready to be picked up in the afternoon. On the day of surgery, we will run thorough blood tests to help ensure your pet is healthy enough to undergo anesthesia and is ready for a successful procedure. We'll also provide advice and instructions to help your pet enjoy a safe and comfortable recovery.

We are pet owners, just like you, and we know you have questions and concerns about our process, the materials we use, and aftercare tips to assist their recovery process. Our friendly and knowledgeable veterinarians are happy to provide clear answers and help alleviate any concerns upon your arrival at our office. Some frequently asked questions regarding spay and neutering procedures include:
We believe this is a common misconception. It's true that pets become more docile after this procedure, but with a proper diet, regular exercise, and an overall active lifestyle, your pet should retain a healthy weight after surgery.
Spay and neutering procedures are routine and safe, but any surgery comes with some risk factors, however unlikely. If your pet is older, overweight, or has unknown underlying health issues, there are associated risks with this procedure. This is why our skilled and compassionate veterinarians schedule an initial consultation to ensure they're ready for surgery.
It's common for your pet to experience increased discomfort for the following few days after surgery. We can prescribe pain medications if needed, but if your pet's incision has opened or you've noticed excessive swelling, redness, or discharge, don't hesitate to contact our office immediately. Here are some tips that you can follow to ease your pet's recovery period:
- Your pet should do little to no running or jumping for the next few days
- Make sure to examine the incision daily to ensure it's healing properly
- Keep your pet confined from other animals, and allow them to have a quiet resting place
- Prevent your pet from licking the surgical site by keeping an eye on them or using a cone
- Wait at least ten days after surgery to bathe your pet
