At Valley Dog and Cat Hospital, we offer a comprehensive range of spaying and neutering surgical services in Owings Mills, MD.
Spaying & Neutering
Spaying and neutering are essential procedures that go a long way in keeping your pet healthy and happy. They can help prevent certain health issues and often lead to better behavior—like less roaming, marking, or aggression. These surgeries also help reduce the number of unwanted animals in shelters. We make sure your pet is safe and comfortable the whole time, using anesthesia and careful monitoring from start to finish.
Spaying (Females)
Spaying is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of the ovaries and uterus in female pets to prevent pregnancy. It offers significant health benefits, including the complete elimination of the risk of uterine infections, uterine cancer, and ovarian cancer. In addition, spaying can reduce behaviors associated with heat cycles, such as vocalizing, restlessness, and marking. Spayed pets tend to be more focused and relaxed, making them easier to live with while still keeping their unique personality and charm.
Neutering (Males)
Neutering is the surgical removal of the testicles. It offers significant health benefits including the complete elimination of the risk of testicular cancer and helps prevent certain prostate disorders and infections. In addition, neutering can reduce some undesirable behaviors such as urine marking, aggression, mounting, and roaming. Neutering doesn’t change who your pet is, but it can help reduce challenging behaviors, making daily life a bit smoother for both of you.
