Frequently Asked Questions
At what age is it best to spay or neuter my pet?
Many pets are spayed/neutered around 6–9 months, but timing can vary based on breed and health status. We’ll guide you to the best timeframe.
What pre-surgery steps should I follow (like fasting)?
Most pets need to fast overnight—no food after midnight—to reduce anesthesia-related risks. We’ll provide specific instructions for your pet.
How long is the typical recovery for spay/neuter surgery?
Many pets recover within 7–10 days, though activity restrictions may be recommended for two weeks to ensure proper healing.
Will my pet need pain medication after routine surgery?
Yes, we’ll provide safe pain control options to keep your pet comfortable during recovery.
Are there any behavioral benefits to spaying/neutering?
Spaying/neutering can reduce unwanted mating behaviors and may lower aggression, roaming, and marking in some pets.
