The best time to spay or neuter your pet may vary depending on several factors. However, puppies are usually neutered/spayed between the ages of six and nine months. In some cases, the procedure can be done at eight weeks. Kittens should be spayed/neutered when they are eight weeks to five months old. When you schedule an appointment, we’ll discuss what would be best for your precious pet. 

Spaying and neutering are surgical procedures, so there is always some degree of pain. We strive to make these surgeries as comfortable and pain-free as possible, though. Your pet will be asleep during the procedure and receive the pain medication they need following their surgery. Most pets recover within 10 to 14 days. During this time, you will need to monitor their incision and restrict activity. We will provide all the aftercare information you need to keep your pet comfortable as they heal. And we’re only a phone call away if you have concerns during their recovery.
