Spaying or neutering can be done as early as 4 to 6 months of age. Your pet is given an exam prior to surgery to help determine whether your pet is healthy enough to undergo the surgical procedure. Current vaccinations are required at the time of surgery. Also, a pre-anesthetic blood screen is required prior to undergoing anesthesia and surgery.

This is a blood test that is run prior to surgery to test your pet’s organ functions, blood counts and clotting function. It is done to ensure that your pet is healthy enough to undergo anesthesia and can heal properly following surgery.

Procedures involving external sutures require suture removal, typically 14 days following the surgery.

No, there is no advantage to letting your pet have one litter. However, there are plenty of advantages to having your pet spayed or neutered! These advantages include decreasing the chances of breast tumors, cystic ovaries, and uterine infections later in life. Spaying (or neutering) your pet also keeps them safer as it decreases their desire to roam, prevents spraying and marking behaviors, and can decrease the risk of prostate cancer in males. In addition, you are helping control the tragic results of pet overpopulation.
