At EastSide Veterinary Services, we believe that spaying and neutering are important procedures that can help improve the health and well-being of your pet. These surgical procedures remove the reproductive organs—the ovaries and uterus in females (spaying) or the testicles in males (neutering).
There are many benefits to spaying and neutering, including preventing unwanted litters, reducing the risk of certain health problems, and reducing behavioural problems. Preventing unwanted litters helps reduce pet overpopulation and the number of animals in shelters, while the procedures can also reduce the risk of certain cancers and reproductive infections and curb behaviours such as aggression and roaming.
We generally recommend spaying or neutering at around six months of age, though the timing may vary depending on your pet's breed, size, and overall health. Our experienced veterinarians provide personalized recommendations based on each pet's individual needs.
We understand that having your pet undergo surgery can be stressful, which is why we provide compassionate care and support throughout the entire process. Our veterinarians use the latest techniques and technologies to ensure the procedure is safe and effective, and we provide detailed instructions to support a smooth recovery.
