Why Spay or Neuter Your Pet?
Pet spay and neuter procedures are about more than preventing litters—they offer real health and behavioral benefits for your dog or cat.
Benefits:
- Reduces the risk of uterine infections and mammary tumors in females
- Prevents testicular cancer and prostate issues in males
- Helps minimize roaming, marking, and aggression
- Contributes to reducing pet overpopulation
We’ll help you determine the ideal timing for your pet’s procedure based on their age, breed, and lifestyle.
What to Expect from Our Spay & Neuter Services
- Pre-surgical Evaluation: Every pet receives a physical exam and pre-anesthetic bloodwork to ensure they’re ready for surgery.

- Pain Management: We use pre-op and post-op medications to keep your pet as comfortable as possible.
- Post-Operative Instructions: We’ll guide you through recovery at home and are here if you have any concerns.
