About the procedure
We perform all spay and neuter surgeries under general anesthesia. Prior to beginning the surgery, your pet will be screened to make sure they are a good candidate for anesthesia. Throughout the entire procedure, they will be closely monitored by our highly trained doctors and veterinarians .
During the procedure, the ovaries and uterus (spay) or testicles (neuter) are removed from the pet to prevent future reproduction.
The appropriate age to have your pet spayed or neutered depends on a few factors, including age, breed, and species. Give us a call today to find out when your pet is ready to take this step!
