FAQS
If you’re considering spay, neuter services for your pet, you may have questions about finding a quality spay or neuter surgery. Keep reading for a list of common spay and neuter questions and answers.
What's the difference between spay and neuter?
A spay refers to the sterilization of a female pet. The veterinarian will remove the dog or cat’s uterus and ovaries during the procedure to complete the process.
Neuter refers to removing testicles from a male dog or cat so they can no longer impregnate a female cat or dog.
Can I spay or neuter my pet if they're already a few years old?
There are many health benefits to getting your animals spayed or neutered at the proper time. But for various reasons, sometimes that doesn’t occur. Low-income pet owners, for example, may have to save up or seek help from low-cost clinics before scheduling the procedure.
In other cases, dogs may be older because they were used for breeding purposes for the first few years or were rescued and adopted intact.
Regardless of the situation, it is possible to spay, neuter your pet if they are already a few years old. Depending on the case, there may be special considerations for your pet, as the procedure can be impacted by size, weight, and more. Contact our clinic to request information.
Can spaying or neutering cause cancer?
Spay, neuter procedures typically reduce or eliminate the risk of common cancers in your cat or dog, such as uterine, breast, ovarian, and prostate. Some cancers are not affected by these procedures or may correlate to a slightly increased risk depending on when the spay, neuter is completed.
