Look below for some common questions about spaying and neutering services for your furry friends.
What Is Spaying and Neutering Surgery?
Spaying is the surgical removal of a female animal's ovaries and uterus. This procedure prevents them from becoming pregnant and having kittens or puppies. Neutering is the surgical removal of a male animal's testicles. Again, this prevents them from fathering kittens or puppies.
Is Spaying and Neutering Necessary?
The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals recommends that all cats and dogs be spayed or neutered within six months. There are many benefits to spaying and neutering your pet, including:
- Reducing the risk of cancer
- Prevent unwanted pregnancy
- Decreased the number of homeless pets
- Curbing aggression
At South Coast Veterinary Hospital, we believe spaying and neutering are essential to responsible pet ownership and puppy or kitten care.
How Long Does Spay and Neuter Surgery Last?
Spay and neuter surgery is typically a quick and straightforward procedure. The surgery itself usually takes less than 30 minutes. Our veterinarian will give your pet anesthesia to keep them comfortable during the surgery. Most pets go home the same day as their procedure.
What Is the Recovery Time?
The recovery time for spay and neuter surgery is typically quick. Most pets are back to their average activity level within a few days. However, it's essential to keep your pet calm and quiet during their recovery period to prevent complications.
