Prevention of Unwanted Litters

The benefits of spaying your pet include avoidance of unwanted litters. Your veterinarian will recommend the best age to spay your pet.

Health and Longevity

Reducing Health Risks

Spaying your pet will also help support their reproductive health - decreasing the risk for certain cancers, and uterine infections, and may even help to improve certain behavioral issues.

Veterinary Spay Expertise and Care

Veterinary Spay Expertise and Care

All of our BetterVet veterinarians are Fear Free® certified  and provide care tailored to your pet’s individual needs. We will address any questions or concerns that you may have about the procedure and ensure that both you and your pet are comfortable from start to finish.

Our Animal Spaying Process

The surgical spay process is hassle-free for pet parents and handled in such a way that your pet remains calm and comfortable.

 

Pre-Surgery Evaluation

Pre-Surgery Evaluation

A Pet Wellness Exam is required within two months of your pet’s spaying surgery, to make sure they are in good health and will tolerate anesthesia well.

Anesthesia and Monitoring

Anesthesia and Monitoring

Your pet will be under anesthesia during her spay surgery and will not feel any pain. Our veterinarians work in teams of two with a veterinary technician, who will closely monitor your pet during the entire procedure.

The Spaying Procedure

The Spaying Procedure

Spaying surgery is a routine procedure that is performed on a daily basis. A veterinarian will remove the pet’s ovaries and uterus during the procedure. In some cases, an ovariectomy can be performed, where only the ovaries are removed.

Recovery Support

Recovery Support

During recovery, your pet may feel uncomfortable but will be given pain medication to manage any discomfort. Your veterinary team will also provide you with detailed post-surgery instructions. Your pet should be feeling much better within a week’s time, but if not, you should get in touch with us right away.

Post-Operative Care

Post-Operative Care

Your veterinary team will let you know of any signs of complications to look out for. If your veterinarian recommends a follow-up visit, they will schedule this with you at the end of your appointment.
