Spaying and Neutering Services

Spaying a Cat or Dog: Spaying involves the surgical removal of the reproductive organs of female cats or dogs under general anesthesia. This routine procedure helps prevent unwanted pregnancies and reduces the risk of health issues such as uterine infections and mammary tumors in females.
Neutering a Cat or Dog: Neutering is the surgical removal of the testes of male cats or dogs under general anesthesia. This procedure not only prevents unplanned litters but also decreases the risk of reproductive-related health issues like testicular cancer and prostate problems. Neutering can also help reduce behaviors associated with mating instincts, promoting a calmer pet.
