Spay & Neuter

Help your pet enjoy a healthier life with dog or cat spay or neuter surgery

One of the most essential aspects of being a responsible pet parent is spaying or neutering your companion. In addition to eliminating unwanted litters and doing your part to avoid contributing to the homeless pet population, these simple procedures can help your pet enjoy a longer, happier, and healthier life. 

Companion Animal Hospital performs cat and dog spaying and neutering surgery on puppies, kittens, and adult animals. These procedures are highly beneficial for nearly all pets, and our knowledgeable and caring team is here to answer your questions and guide you through the process.

Benefits of Spaying and Neutering


  • Significant Health Benefits

    Spaying and neutering pets play a crucial role in enhancing their health. A dog neuter or cat neuter procedure significantly reduces the risk of prostate problems and eliminates the risk of testicular cancer in males.

    Furthermore, a dog or cat spay surgery drastically lowers the risk of mammary cancer and completely eradicates the chances of developing uterine cancers and infections. These procedures are essential to ensure your beloved pet's longer, healthier life.

  • Behavioral Advantages

    Beyond health advantages, spaying and neutering can lead to better pet behavior. Female pets will no longer have heat cycles, which can decrease and even eliminate unwanted mating behaviors such as yowling. 

    After a dog or cat neuter surgery, male pets may experience less territorial marking and decreased aggression, making them more relaxed and manageable. A neutered cat or dog will also be less likely to roam away from home, enhancing their safety and well-being.

Why Companion Animal Hospital for Spays & Neuters?

We understand that you may notice a price difference between our services and those of high-volume spay and neuter clinics or shelters. While lower-cost options may seem appealing at first, they often do not include the same level of safety, comfort, and personalized care that your pet receives with us.

At Companion Animal Hospital, your pet is never “just another surgery.” Every spay and neuter is approached with the same level of attention and medical care as any major procedure. What sets us apart is:

  • Personalized Anesthesia Care: Anesthesia protocols are based on your pet’s age, breed, and medical history for the safest possible experience.
  • Comprehensive Bloodwork: Pre-anesthetic bloodwork is run to confirm organ health (optional for young pets).
  • Dedicated Team Support: A trained veterinary assistant stays with your pet from start to finish, so that they are never alone.
  • Advanced Safety Measures: Every patient receives an IV catheter and fluids to maintain stable blood pressure, along with continuous monitoring of heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen levels.
  • Pain Management: Pain medication is given before surgery and sent home, leading to a quicker, less stressful recovery.
  • Thoughtful Aftercare: You’ll receive a customized report card summarizing your pet’s procedure.
  • Optional Microchipping: Microchipping can be performed, and will include 1 year of HomeAgain membership and 1 free call to the ASPCA Poison Control Hotline.

By choosing Companion Animal Hospital for a spay or neuter, you are investing in your pet’s long-term health and safety.
