Spaying and Neutering for Pets

Spaying and neutering are essential procedures that stop your pet’s ability to reproduce and help protect them against various reproductive health issues. In our dedicated surgical suite, your pet will receive high-quality care to ensure they have a safe and successful procedure. To learn more, please contact us at 204-346-1429.

Why should my pet be spayed/neutered? 

Spaying your pet has many benefits. The procedure prevents pets from becoming pregnant and/or reproducing and can help your dog or cat live a longer, healthier life. Neither procedure will change your pet’s personality or temperament. Both procedures help control pet overpopulation, keeping more animals out of shelters. Spaying involves removing the ovaries and uterus, whereas neutering involves removing your pet’s testicles. Both surgical procedures need to be performed while your pet is under anesthesia. We follow strict protocols and continually monitor your pet’s vital signs to help ensure their safety during surgery.

What are the benefits of spaying/neutering?

By spaying your female pet, you’re protecting her against potentially deadly diseases, including bacterial infections, reproductive tract diseases, and several types of cancer. You also won’t have to worry about her going into heat. This means avoiding the mess that often accompanies the heat cycle in female dogs and the pacing and crying that happens with female cats. By neutering your pet, you’re reducing or eliminating his risk for prostate and testicular cancer and sexually transmitted diseases. Neutering will also reduce undesirable and embarrassing behaviour, including roaming, fighting, humping, and spraying.
