What Does Pet Spaying and Neutering Involve?
Spaying and neutering are sometimes called “fixing” or “sterilizing.” They are safe and routine surgical procedures performed under anesthesia that effectively removes your pet's reproductive organs. Spaying involves the surgical removal of the ovaries of a female animal, and neutering means castrating a male animal. It is typically recommended for pets at least 6 months old with no breeding plans. This procedure is sometimes essential to avoid various health conditions for your little loved ones.
Spay and neuter surgeries are quick and last a few hours, after which pets can be taken home for rest and recovery.
