Neutering refers to the surgical procedure performed on male dogs and cats to render them infertile. There are many benefits to neutering your male companion.

First, you will contribute to the prevention of the dog and cat overpopulation.

Second, neutering will eliminate undesirable and at times, embarrassing behavior in your male companion.

Third, you will help prevent diseases in your pet such as prostate disease and testicular cancer.

Neutering involves surgical removal of both testicles. It can be performed under a number of anesthetics and monitoring devices.

If you are shopping around for a competitive price on this procedure, be sure to question the type of anesthetic used and the monitoring equipment and procedures followed. We use several monitoring devices during your pet's anesthetic.

 A veterinary technician continually assesses your pet's vital signs during the procedure and all patients recover in our Critical Care Unit.

 Although the risk of an anesthetic death in a normal healthy pet is very rare, our monitoring devices and procedures allow us to respond to an anesthetic emergency faster. Faster responses can save lives. Please call or visit our facility to learn more about our neutering procedures.
