Spays (ovariohysterectomies) and neuters (orchiectomies) are both routine elective procedures performed under general anesthesia and consist of removing the reproductive organs. Spays and neuters are done to prevent future health issues such as mammary, ovarian, testicular, and prostate cancer. It can also help in reducing unwanted behaviors like wandering and spraying, both of which are observed in intact animals.
We also offer hind dewclaw removal (tendonous attachments only) and hernia repair at the same time as a spay or neuter should they require these procedures as well.
As many are aware, animal shelters and rescues are overwhelmed with the number of pets trying to find homes. Spaying and neutering your pets will greatly help in preventing the number of unwanted pregnancies which directly help reduce the number of animals that find themselves in shelters and rescues.
