Help your pet live a long, healthy life.

Deciding whether to spay or neuter your cat or dog can be a difficult decision for some pet owners. Spaying and neutering help pets live long, healthy lives by reducing their likelihood of developing certain infections and cancers.

What happens when a pet is spayed or neutered?

Pets are placed under general anesthesia to perform spay and neuter procedures. Both procedures are performed through small incisions used to remove reproductive organs. The incision is closed with sutures and the patient rests in recovery until they are ready to go home.

Your pet will be required to wear an e-collar designed to prevent them from chewing or licking their sutures for several days to avoid infection. They will also need to have their exercise restricted for at least 1-2 weeks post surgery to allow the incision to fully heal quickly. We always provide post surgical information for owners to take home so they know how to best take care of their pets after surgery.
