Spaying (for females) and neutering (for males) are common, safe surgical procedures performed by veterinarians to prevent pets from reproducing. These procedures not only help control the pet population but also offer numerous health and behavioral benefits for your pet.

Both procedures are done under general anesthesia. Most pets recover quickly and can return to their normal activities in just a few days.

​

Benefits of Spaying and Neutering:

​

• Reduced risk of certain cancers: Spaying eliminates the risk of uterine and ovarian cancer in females, while neutering can prevent testicular cancer in males.

• Prevention of unwanted pregnancies and overpopulation. Spaying and neutering prevent the risk of accidental litters, helping reduce the number of unwanted pets in shelters.

• Behavioral improvements: Spayed and neutered pets are less likely to display undesirable behaviors, such as territorial marking, mounting, aggression, or the urge to roam in search of a mate, making them more social and easier to manage.​

When Should I Spay or Neuter My Pet?

​

Most veterinarians recommend spaying or neutering pets at around six months of age. However, depending on your pet’s breed and health status, this timing may vary. Our veterinary team will guide you on the best time for your pet based on their individual needs.
