Routine Surgery

Spays, Neuters, and Vasectomies

Spays (Ovariohysterectomy)

Spaying involves the surgical removal of the ovaries and uterus in female pets. This procedure offers several benefits:

• Prevents Unwanted Litters: Spaying eliminates the risk of accidental pregnancies.
• Reduces Health Risks: It lowers the chances of developing uterine infections and breast cancer.
• Behavioral Benefits: Spayed pets are less likely to exhibit behaviors associated with heat cycles, such as roaming and vocalizing.

Neuters (Orchiectomy)

Neutering is the surgical removal of the testes in male pets. Key advantages include:

• Population Control: Neutering helps prevent the birth of unwanted puppies or kittens.
• Health Benefits: It reduces the risk of testicular cancer and prostate issues.
• Behavioral Improvements: Neutered pets are less likely to mark territory, roam, or display aggressive behavior.

Vasectomies

A vasectomy involves severing the vas deferens, preventing sperm from being released during mating without removing the testes. Benefits include:

• Population Management: Vasectomies provide a reversible method of preventing reproduction.
• Retained Hormones: Male pets retain their natural hormone levels, which can help maintain typical behaviors.
• Alternative to Neutering: This procedure is an option for owners who prefer not to fully neuter their pets but still want to control reproduction.
