Benefits of Spaying
The benefits of spaying your pet include avoidance of unwanted litters, decreased risks for certain kinds of cancers, prevention of serious health problems, and potentially improved behavioral concerns. Female cats and dogs who have not been spayed are at an increased risk for developing uterine infections and mammary cancers. Spays are the most common veterinary procedures and are performed on a daily basis. Your veterinarian will be happy to discuss the benefits and risks to your pet.
When To Spay
The best recommendation for when to spay your pet is dependent on factors such as age, breed, species, and size when fully grown. Our veterinary team can help schedule your pet’s procedure for a time that works best for you and your pet.
Our Process
Once you’ve chosen a day for your pet’s procedure, our team will handle the rest. Depending on your location, your pet’s spaying surgery may be performed in our mobile clinic or at one of our partnering hospitals. As always, feel free to ask your BetterVet veterinarian any questions you may have about the procedure.
