Spaying (ovariohysterectomy)

Spaying refers to the surgical procedure performed on female dogs and cats to render them infertile. There are many benefits to spaying your female companion. First, you will contribute to the reduction of dog and cat overpopulation. Secondly, spaying will eliminate the inconvenience of heat cycles that may attract male dogs to your house. Third, you will help prevent diseases in your pet such as pyometra (infection in the uterus) and mammary cancer. Spaying involves surgical removal of both ovaries and the uterus. an anaesthetic protocal is created based on the individual patient and their vitals are closely monitored during the procedure by a registered veterinary technician.

Although the risk of an anaesthetic death in a normal healthy pet is extremely rare, our monitoring devices and procedures allow us to respond to an anaesthetic emergency before they become critical. Faster responses can save lives. Please call or visit our facility or view our virtual tour on this website to learn more.
