A Healthy Start for Your Pet
Spaying and neutering are among the most common and beneficial procedures we perform at Finn Hill Animal Hospital. Beyond preventing unwanted litters, these routine surgeries offer real, lasting health and behavioral benefits for your dog or cat.
More Than Population Control
Spaying or neutering your pet is one of the most impactful decisions you can make for their long-term health. For female pets, spaying eliminates the risk of pyometra (a serious and potentially life-threatening uterine infection) and significantly reduces the risk of mammary tumors and reproductive cancers. For males, neutering removes the risk of testicular cancer and lowers the chance of prostate issues.
There are behavioral benefits, too. Unspayed and unneutered pets are more likely to roam, mark, and display aggressive tendencies. Neutered males tend to be calmer and less prone to wandering, while spayed females avoid the restlessness and stress that come with heat cycles.
On the day of surgery, your pet receives a full pre-operative exam and bloodwork. Throughout the procedure, a dedicated team member closely monitors their vitals. Afterward, you’ll go home with clear recovery instructions, and our team is always just a phone call away if anything comes up.
