What to know before Spaying or Neutering my pet?

Before scheduling a spay or neuter surgery for your pet, there are some things you should take into account:

Age
Most veterinarians recommend spaying or neutering your pet between the ages of 4 and 6 months. However, the timing may vary based on your pet’s breed, size, and health status. Schedule a consiltation to determine the best age to spay or neuter your pet.

Health
Before undergoing any surgical procedure, your pet should be in good health. At The Falls Animal Clinic, we will perform a physical exam to determine if your pet is healthy enough for surgery.

Weight
The weight of your pet can also affect the timing of the spay or neuter procedure. If your pet is overweight, we may recommend waiting until they reach a healthy weight before scheduling the surgery.

Recovery time
After the surgery, your pet will need time to recover. This may include restricted activity and wearing an Elizabethan collar to prevent them from licking the surgical site. Make sure you have a plan in place to provide the necessary care and attention during the recovery period.
