Benefits of Spaying & Neutering

One of the best decisions you can make for your pet's long-term health and behavior.

For Dogs

  • Eliminates risk of testicular cancer and reduces prostate problems (males)
  • Prevents uterine infections and reduces mammary tumor risk (females)
  • Reduces roaming behavior and territorial marking
  • Decreases aggression and mounting behavior
  • Helps reduce pet overpopulation

For Cats

  • Prevents spraying and strong urine odor (males)
  • Eliminates heat cycles and yowling (females)
  • Reduces risk of FIV and FeLV from fighting
  • Prevents uterine infections and ovarian cancer
  • Decreases roaming and fighting injuries

Recommended Age

We typically recommend spaying/neutering between 4-6 months for cats and 6-12 months for dogs, depending on size and breed. Consult with our team for personalized recommendations.

Surgery FAQ

Everything you need to know about surgical procedures at Skyway Animal Hospital.

We perform a wide range of surgeries including spay/neuter, mass removals, wound repairs, bladder stone removal, gastropexy, foreign body removal, soft tissue surgeries, and advanced orthopedic procedures like ACL (cruciate ligament) repairs—performed in-house by our visiting orthopedic specialist.

Schedule a consultation if your pet has a suspicious lump, recurring health issue, or if surgery has been recommended. We'll perform a thorough exam, discuss all treatment options, and help you make the best decision for your pet.

Age alone doesn't disqualify a pet from surgery. We perform pre-surgical bloodwork and cardiac evaluation to assess anesthesia risk. Many senior pets do very well with proper anesthetic protocols and monitoring.

For safety and sterility reasons, pet parents cannot be present during surgery. However, we'll call you as soon as the procedure is complete to update you on how your pet is doing.
