Pet Spaying
Spaying your female pet, which prevents her from becoming pregnant and reproducing, can help your dog or cat live a longer, healthier life, as well as prevent behavioral issues.
Benefits of Spaying Your Pet
By spaying your female pet, you’re protecting her against potentially deadly diseases, including bacterial infections, reproductive tract diseases, and several types of cancer.
Spaying, which involves removing the ovaries and uterus, is a surgical procedure and needs to be performed with the pet under anesthesia. We thoroughly examine and prepare your pet for anesthesia to ensure her total safety before, during, and after the surgery.
Spaying will not change your pet’s personality, but it will prevent her from going into heat. This means avoiding the mess that often accompanies the heat cycle in female dogs and the pacing and crying that happens with female cats. In addition, spaying your pet will help control the dog and cat overpopulation problem, keeping more animals out of shelters.
