Other Facts

Your pet will NOT get fat or lazy because of this surgery. Diet, exercise and heredity have much more influence on the weight and attitude of your pet. Surgery is recommended by the time your pet is six months old, but it can be done at any age. It is much easier on your pet to be spayed before going through a heat cycle due to the smaller size of the reproductive tract. Surgery is performed painlessly while your pet is under general anesthesia. Surgical risk is minimal. Most pets go home the same day. Post surgical pain is minimal.
