Services We Offer

When you get a puppy or kitten, our spay & neuter procedure should be high on your new pet to-do list, right alongside setting aside plenty of time to play and cuddle! This common veterinary procedure is beneficial in so many ways, and we provide hundreds of them every year at Animal Wellness Center of Bonita.

How Spay and Neuter Surgeries Work

Spaying (in females) and neutering (in males) are surgical sterilization procedures that will keep your pet from being able to produce offspring. Depending on your pet’s age, breed, and health status (e.g., whether or not a female animal is in heat), it can take anywhere from just a few minutes (for male cats) to ninety minutes (for female dogs).

During these surgeries, your pets are put under general anesthesia for their comfort and safety. Our experienced veterinary team makes a few small incisions in your pet’s lower abdomen and removes the reproductive sex organs (ovaries, fallopian tubes, and uterus in female pets, and testes in male pets).

5 Things to Know About Spay and Neuter Surgeries

Check out these surprising facts (and helpful things to know) about these surgeries:

Spaying and neutering prevents unwanted pet pregnancies, which cuts down on the heartbreaking problem of pet overpopulation in this country. There are already a surprising number of cats and dogs (in the millions!) who are sent to animal shelters annually.

Spaying and neutering can reduce the risk of certain health and behavioral problems in your animals and may even increase their lifespans!

Spaying and neutering can save you money in the long run, by helping you avoid the cost of pregnancy and whelping.

Healthy puppies and kittens as young as eight weeks old can be safely spayed or neutered, although the procedure is typically done when pets are around six months old.

The risks involved with spay and neuter surgeries are very few, and recovery is generally quick. We teach all our pet parents how to care for their animals after their procedures and let them know what issues to look out for and how to keep the incisions clean and dry.
