Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some questions that we may get asked concerning spay and neuter:

Why Is Pet Pregnancy Prevention Recommended?

It prevents unwanted litters, helps control the pet population, prevents aggressive behavior, supports a longer and healthier life.

Is the Fixing Pet Procedure Painful?

Pets are given general anesthesia, so they are in a deep sleep and feel no pain.

Will My Pet Still Search for a Mate Once Spayed or Neutered?

Once the procedure is completed, your pet should no longer have the desire to find a mate.

What Happens during the Spaying Procedure?

The female's ovaries and uterus are removed, which makes the female pet infertile.

What Happens during the Neutering Procedure?

The male's testicles are removed, which prevents him from impregnating non-spayed females.

How Long Does the Procedure Take?

The procedure can take anywhere from around a quarter of an hour to around an hour and a half.

Does the Pet Have to Stay in the Hospital to Recover?

No. Generally, your pet will go home the same day after our vet team has observed your pet for several hours to ensure there are no complications.
