Spaying and Neutering

Our highly-skilled veterinary team is well-equipped to carry out the procedure successfully, ensuring your pet makes a full recovery. If your pet hasn’t been scheduled for this procedure, please contact us at 905-682-7857.

What is spaying?

While your female pet is under anesthetic, we’ll remove their ovaries and uterus through an incision in the abdomen. Before your pet undergoes the procedure, we do extensive pre-anesthetic testing to ensure they will react well to the medication and there won’t be any complications during the surgery. During the procedure, we closely monitor their vitals to ensure your pet is safe and there aren’t any complications. After the procedure, your furry friend won’t be able to reproduce anymore.

Why is it an important procedure for my pet?

• Limits the risk of cancers, like prostate and testicular
• Limits the risk of sexually transmitted diseases
• Limits the risk of bacterial infections and urinary tract diseases
• Reduces behaviour like roaming, fighting and humping
