What is Spaying and Neutering?
Spaying and neutering are surgical procedures performed to prevent pets from reproducing. Spaying refers to the removal of the ovaries and uterus in female pets, while neutering involves the removal of the testes in male pets. These common and safe procedures help manage the pet population and offer numerous health benefits. At Academy Animal Hospital, we ensure these surgeries are performed with the highest standards of care, focusing on your pet’s safety and recovery.
Spaying (for females) and neutering (for males) are essential procedures that offer numerous benefits for your pet’s health and behavior. These include:
Behavioral Benefits
Spaying and neutering can help reduce behaviors such as roaming, spraying, and aggression in male pets. Female pets will not go into heat after spaying, eliminating the associated behaviors and mess.
Reduced Pet Overpopulation
Spaying and neutering help control pet populations and reduce the number of unwanted animals in shelters.
Prevention of Diseases
Spaying your female pet helps prevent uterine infections and reduces the risk of breast tumors, which are malignant in about 50% of dogs and 90% of cats. Neutering your male pet prevents testicular cancer and reduces the risk of prostate problems.
What to Expect Before and After Pet Surgery
Before your pet undergoes spaying or neutering, our veterinarians will conduct a thorough health assessment to ensure they are healthy enough for the procedure. Once cleared for surgery, a team member will schedule an appointment for your pet, and you will receive instructions on pre-surgical preparations, including fasting requirements.
After the spay or neuter procedure, your pet will need a quiet place to rest as they recover from anesthesia. It is common for pets to experience reduced appetite and activity levels immediately following surgery. Our team will provide detailed post-operative care instructions, including monitoring the incision site for any signs of infection or complications. Your pet may need to wear a protective collar to prevent licking or chewing at the incision site.
