Call to Schedule
If we‘ve never seen your pet before or it’s been more than a year since we’ve seen them
You’ll need to bring your pet in for an exam with a veterinarian for an overall health evaluation and to identify any potential anesthetic risk factors. At that time, we can usually go ahead and run any pre-anesthetic bloodwork that might be required, give you an appropriate estimate for the procedure, go over and have you sign the anesthetic consent forms, and address any questions or concerns you might have about the procedure or your pet going under general anesthesia.
If your pet has seen one of our veterinarians in the last year
You can usually call and schedule that procedure for a day that works best with your schedule. If you’d like an estimate before scheduling, you can bring your pet in to be evaluated by the veterinarian and have an estimate generated for your pet’s specific needs.
The morning of the procedure
Plan on being at the clinic for your pet’s “drop-off” for around 30 minutes. Several animals will be checking in for surgery in the same 8-8:30 a.m. timeslot. You’ll also go over anesthesia consent forms and the details of the day with the surgery technician and surgeon doing the procedure.
Requires Scheduling
Canine and feline spays and neuters are considered elective surgeries and, as such, are required to be scheduled procedures.
Why we recommend you spay or neuter your pet
There are so many good reasons to spay and neuter your pet, from controlling pet homelessness, to medical and behavioral benefits:
- Your female pet will live a longer, healthier life and spaying her helps to prevent uterine infections and breast tumors.
- Neutering your male pet prevents testicular cancer and some prostate problems.
- Your spayed female pet won’t go into heat. While cycles vary, female felines go into heat often and, in an effort to campaign for mates, they’ll yowl and urinate more frequently, sometimes all over the house!
- Your male dog will be less likely to roam away from home. An intact male will do just about anything to find a mate, including finding creative ways to run away from home. Once he’s free to roam, he risks injury in traffic and fights with other male animals.
- Your neutered male may behave better. Unneutered dogs and cats are more likely to mark their territory by spraying strong-smelling urine all over the house. Your dog might be less likely to mount other dogs, people and inanimate objects after he’s neutered. Some problems with aggression may also be avoided.
