Spay & Neuter

At Vetopia Animal Hospital, we believe spaying and neutering are essential parts of responsible pet ownership. These routine procedures not only help control the pet population but also offer important health and behavioral benefits for your pet.

Why Spay or Neuter?

Spaying (for females) and neutering (for males) provide long-term health benefits and can improve your pet’s quality of life.

Health Benefits
  • Spaying procedures helps prevent uterine infections and breast tumors, which are malignant in about 50% of dogs and 90% of cats.
  • Neutering helps prevent testicular cancer and reduces the risk of prostate problems.
  • Both reduce the chances of certain hormone-related diseases.
  • Decreased aggression and roaming behavior
  • Less marking and spraying (especially in cats)
  • Reduced risk of mounting and other unwanted behaviors
  • Puppies and kittens: typically between 5–6 months of age
  • Adult pets: can be safely spayed or neutered at most ages, depending on overall health

We’ll help determine the best timing based on your pet’s age, breed, and medical history.

  • Pre-surgical exam and bloodwork to ensure your pet is ready for anesthesia
  • Modern anesthesia and vital sign monitoring during the entire procedure
  • Experienced surgical team and sterile environment
  • Pain management before, during, and after surgery
  • Optional laser surgery available for less bleeding, reduced pain, and faster healing
  • Post-operative laser therapy available to support tissue recovery and reduce inflammation

Your pet will go home the same day with clear aftercare instructions. Most pets recover quickly and resume normal activity within a few days.

We’re here to support you throughout the healing process—just call if you have questions or concerns.
