Scheduling Surgery for Your Pet
A surgical procedure is much more elaborate than a physical exam, so an appointment is necessary. Furthermore, if we haven’t seen your pet within the year, we'll need to evaluate their health and possibly do blood work to minimize risk during surgery.
In addition to reserving the actual surgery, scheduled appointments give time for our veterinarians and technicians to monitor your pet's full recovery in the following days. Depending on the nature of the surgery, we may also want to see your pet for a follow-up visit to make sure their recovery is going smoothly, and to answer any questions you have.
Spay and Neuter to Change Animal Lives for the Better
Spaying and neutering are highly recommended for a complete pet health program. Crowded shelters and booming stray animal populations are still big issues around the country, but spaying and neutering can prevent unexpected litters and ultimately ease the strain on local shelters. Additionally, these surgeries can benefit the health of their canine and feline recipients—for reasons beyond population control.
Health Benefits
Hormone production in male and female dogs and cats can lead to cancer development, and these cancers cannot always be treated successfully. Research has also found a possible correlation between spaying and neutering and pets living longer.
The most important benefits to consider before having your pet spayed or neutered include:
- No unwanted pregnancies
- No heat cycle (females)
- Less tendency to roam in search of a mate (males and females)
- A lower risk for breast cancer, ovarian cancer, and uterine cancer (females)
- A lower risk for testicular cancer and prostate cancer (males)
- Less likelihood of spraying/marking in the house (male dogs and cats)
- Less risk of becoming aggressive (males)
- Also less likely to engage in mounting behaviors (males)
