🐾 Spay & Neuter Services in Edmonton
At some point in your pet’s life, they may require a surgical procedure — most commonly a routine spay or neuter surgery. These standard soft-tissue procedures not only help reduce the population of stray animals in Edmonton but also contribute to your pet’s long-term health, behavior, and well-being.
✅ Benefits of Spay & Neuter Surgery
For male pets, neutering eliminates the risk of testicular cancer and significantly reduces the likelihood of prostate issues as they age. Neutered pets are typically less aggressive and less inclined to mark their territory indoors or outdoors.
For female pets, spaying prevents heat cycles and eliminates the risk of unwanted pregnancies. It also lowers the risk of uterine infections, ovarian disorders, and reduces the chance of mammary (breast) cancer.
🩺 What to Expect – Spay & Neuter Preparation and Aftercare
To ensure the safest outcome for your pet, we require a pre-surgical physical exam with one of our experienced veterinarians prior to scheduling any spay or neuter procedure. During this visit, our team will guide you through every step of the process, including:
- Discharge and aftercare – Most pets go home the same day after a spay or neuter. Our veterinary team will provide detailed home care instructions, discuss any follow-up appointments, and make sure you’re fully prepared to care for your pet post-surgery.
- Pre-surgical testing – Baseline bloodwork helps identify hidden health concerns that could affect anesthesia safety or increase the risk of bleeding complications. Conditions like low platelet counts, liver disease, or kidney dysfunction may influence anesthetic choices to ensure a smooth and safe recovery.
- Fasting instructions – Your pet may need to refrain from eating or drinking for a specific time before surgery. Our staff will let you know exactly when to withhold food and water to minimize anesthesia-related risks.
- What happens on surgery day – We’ll walk you through the full procedure, including check-in, sedation and general anesthesia, anesthesia monitoring, the spay/neuter surgery itself, and post-operative recovery.
