When Should I Bring My Pet in for a Spay or Neuter Procedure?

Many pets these days are spayed or neutered at a young age. This is true for both dogs and cats, and for adopted pets as well as pets bought at a store. If your pets are not fixed, you should bring them in right away. If you have newborn puppies or kittens, your vet will help you set a time for spaying or neutering when you bring them in for their first ever vet appointment.

Is the Procedure Outpatient?

Spaying and neutering is generally an outpatient procedure for both dogs and cats. Occasionally, a pet will need to stay the night for observation. However, pets can usually go home the same day after a spay or neuter procedure.

Why Is It Important for Me to Get My Pet Spayed or Neutered?

Spaying and neutering helps keep down the population of stray cats and dogs. This is important for safety and hygiene reasons. Large populations of feral cats and dogs can also threaten the local wildlife.

Will the Spay or Neuter Procedure Affect My Pet's Behavior?

You may see an effect on your pets' behavior after they get spayed or neutered. This is especially true if your pets get spayed or neutered as an adult. They will become more docile and less interested in animals of the opposite sex.
