Surgical Procedures We Offer

Spay and Neuter

Spaying and neutering are essential procedures for preventing unwanted pregnancies and promoting long-term pet health. While spaying and neutering are elective procedures, we recommend that all pet owners strongly consider them to reduce the risks of reproductive cancers and undesirable hormone-driven behaviors. The timing for a spay or neuter procedure depends on your pet’s gender, species, age, and expected adult size. Our veterinarian will discuss with you the best time to spay your pet based on all of these factors.
