Spay & Neuter

Spaying and neutering are an important part of responsible pet ownership. Not only does having your dog or cat spayed or neutered prevent unwanted pregnancy, but it’s also been proven to help prevent certain reproductive diseases. Pets who are spayed or neutered are also less likely to exhibit unpleasant behaviors, such as aggression, urine marking and roaming.

At Wadsworth Animal Hospital, we strongly recommend having your pet spayed or neutered and we are here to make this process as smooth and uneventful as possible. When you choose us to perform this important procedure, you can be confident that your pet will be in caring, capable and experienced hands.

What to Expect

From the moment your dog or cat arrives, he or she will be treated with care and compassion. We utilize the safest, most effective pain medication and adhere to the strictest protocols for anesthesia and surgical safety. Our approach will be completely customized to your pet’s specific needs, based on his or her breed, size and other unique factors.

During surgery, our technicians and support staff will be present at all times to monitor your pet’s safety and comfort. Following the procedure, your companion will be gently relocated to our quiet recovery area where our staff will continue to provide comfort and reassurance. Someone will contact you to let you know the surgery is done and arrange for you to pick your pet up.

When you arrive for pickup, we’ll discuss our aftercare instructions and answer any questions you may have. 

Scheduling an appointment for a spay or neuter procedure is as easy as picking up the phone and giving Wadsworth Animal Hospital. We are here to help!
