What to Expect on Surgery Day

Guiding You Through the Surgical Process

Before surgery, we’ll perform a complete physical examination and review your pet’s medical history to confirm they’re healthy enough for anesthesia. If needed, we may recommend pre-anesthetic bloodwork to evaluate organ function and identify any underlying concerns. We’ll also explain how to prepare your pet, including fasting instructions for the night before surgery.

During the procedure, your pet is carefully monitored from beginning to end. Our veterinary team keeps a close watch on vital signs throughout anesthesia and recovery to help ensure a safe surgical experience.

Once your pet is ready to go home, we’ll provide detailed discharge instructions covering activity restrictions, incision care, medications, and what to expect during recovery. Most dogs and cats recover quickly and return to their normal routines within several days to two weeks. If you have questions after surgery, we’re always available to help.

Why Spaying and Neutering Matter

A simple procedure with lasting benefits

In addition to helping reduce pet overpopulation, spaying and neutering can lower the risk of several serious health conditions.

For female pets, spaying eliminates the possibility of uterine infections and greatly reduces the risk of mammary cancer, especially when performed before the first heat cycle. Neutering male pets prevents testicular cancer and decreases the likelihood of certain prostate conditions.
These procedures may also reduce hormone-driven behaviors, including:
Roaming
Urine marking
Aggression related to mating instincts
Mounting behaviors
While these behaviors often improve after surgery, your pet’s unique personality and affectionate nature remain the same. Many pets enjoy healthier, longer lives after being spayed or neutered.
