ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT SPAYING OR NEUTERING YOUR PET?
We understand that spaying or neutering a pet is a personal decision, and we respect your right to do as you wish. We do, however, encourage our pet owners to consider this safe procedure for their pets.
What happens if I decide to spay or neuter my pet?
Each spay or neuter procedure is done with the utmost care and attention to the safety of your pet. Your pet will be sedated and given all the precautions any surgical procedure requires. If your male pet is neutered, his testicles will be removed, making him unable to reproduce. Removal of the testicles means that the major source of testosterone is eliminated, thereby eliminating mating behavior along with other unwanted dog behaviors. Female pets are spayed, which means surgically removing the ovaries to prevent pregnancies.
Pets coming to our hospital for this procedure are normally in and out within one day, and there is no need for an overnight stay.
Is your pet microchipped?
In addition to spaying or neutering your pet, we also strongly recommend that you microchip them. This painless, quick procedure ensures that if your pet gets loose, you will have the peace of mind that they can be returned to you. Your pet’s microchip contains your contact information, so an animal shelter or rescue personnel can easily identify your pet and return them to you right away.
If you have questions about spaying, neutering, or microchipping your pet, we encourage you to contact us. We will be more than happy to answer any questions you may have.
