Deciding to spay/neuter your pet can sometimes be a stressful decision, especially if you have not scheduled an appointment with a reputable veterinarian near you. At Mattituck-Laurel Veterinary Hospital, we treat your pets like the valued family they are. You can rely on our experienced team to oversee the procedure in our veterinary facility dedicated to promoting quality care in a safe and well-maintained environment.
Benefits of Spay/Neuter
There are several good reasons for having your pet spayed or neutered. One of the most important is to prevent pregnancies that increase the population of more unwanted and unplanned animals. By preventing pregnancies and reducing the number of unplanned pets we protect animals from abuse and abandonment.
Spaying or neutering is also beneficial to your pet's health as the procedures protect against diseases.
For females, the surgical procedure helps with the prevention of breast cancer and urinary infections. Males benefit by eliminating the development of testicular cancer and reducing the development of benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate glands).
Pet parents will also see a difference in their pet's behavior after the surgery. Males will not have the urge to roam if they have access to the outdoors, and their need to mark walls, furniture, plants, and other items will reduced.
Females will no longer go into the heat cycle, which often leads to constant communications from the animal to nearby males.
Procedure/Surgery - What to Expect
If you are considering one of the procedures, our veterinarian will thoroughly examine your pet to determine fitness for the surgery and any steps that need to be taken. Then the procedure will be explained and any questions you have will be answered. Finally, we will provided you with information about caring for your pet once he or she goes home.
Your pet will be treated with the utmost care before, during, and after the procedure. Our highly trained staff will make sure your pet is calm and comfortable. During the procedure, your pet will be monitored to ensure he or she is not reacting negatively to the anesthesia. At Mattituck-Laurel Veterinary Hospital, we treat your pets like the valued family they are.
