Spay & Neuter

Imagine a garden left to grow wild—without care, it becomes overcrowded, and resources run thin. The same happens when pets reproduce without control. Millions of unwanted animals end up in shelters each year, many without ever finding homes. Spaying and neutering help prevent this, but the benefits go beyond reducing overpopulation.

For pets, these procedures can:

• Increase lifespan – Reduces the risk of certain cancers and infections
• Improve behavior – Less aggression, roaming, and marking territory
• Prevent health issues – Eliminates risks associated with reproductive diseases

Some pet owners worry about surgery, but modern veterinary medicine has made spaying and neutering safe and quick. Here’s what to expect:

1. Pre-Surgical Exam
   Before the procedure, a full health check ensures your pet is ready for surgery. Blood tests may be done to rule out any underlying conditions.
2. The Surgery
   • Spaying (Females): The ovaries and uterus are removed, preventing heat cycles and reducing the risk of infections and tumors.
   • Neutering (Males): The testicles are removed, lowering testosterone levels and reducing the urge to roam or fight.
3. Recovery & Aftercare
   Pets typically wake up within a few hours and go home the same day. Mild drowsiness and discomfort are normal, but most recover quickly with proper rest and limited activity.
