Preventive Surgery That Makes a Lifelong Difference
Spaying or neutering your pet is one of the most important decisions you can make to support their health and well-being. At Clearlake Animal Hospital, we provide expert spay and neuter services in a clean, comfortable, and safe environment. Whether you’re the proud parent of a new puppy or kitten or caring for an older pet, our experienced veterinary team is here to guide you every step of the way.
What Is Spaying or Neutering?
Spaying is the surgical removal of a female pet’s ovaries and uterus, while neutering refers to the removal of a male pet’s testicles. These procedures are routine, low-risk, and performed under general anesthesia by our trained surgical team.
At Clearlake Animal Hospital, each procedure includes:
- Pre-surgical exam and bloodwork to assess your pet’s health
- Tailored anesthesia protocols for safety and comfort
- Continuous monitoring of vitals during surgery
- Pain management before, during, and after the procedure
- Post-operative care instructions and support for a smooth recovery
We understand that surgery can feel overwhelming. That’s why our team takes the time to answer your questions, explain every step of the process, and ensure both you and your pet feel confident and cared for.
Why Spay and Neuter Your Pet?
Spaying and neutering isn’t just about preventing unwanted litters — it’s about protecting your pet’s long-term health. According to the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), spayed and neutered pets tend to live longer, healthier lives. These procedures can help:
- Prevent uterine infections and breast tumors in females
- Reduce the risk of testicular cancer and prostate issues in males
- Eliminate heat cycles and associated behaviors in females
- Curb roaming, marking, and aggression in males
- Reduce overpopulation and euthanasia rates in shelters
- Lower the risk of future reproductive-related emergencies
By choosing to spay or neuter your pet, you’re making a responsible, compassionate decision that benefits your pet and the broader pet community.
When Is the Right Time to Spay or Neuter?
Most puppies and kittens can be safely spayed or neutered between 5–6 months of age, though this may vary depending on breed, size, and individual health needs. Some adult pets can also benefit from spaying or neutering later in life. Our veterinarians will help you determine the best timing during your pet’s wellness exams.
