Spaying and Neutering

Spaying/neutering is a common procedure that offers numerous benefits for your pet's health and well-being. It helps prevent certain diseases, reduce hormone-related undesirable behaviors, and contribute to controlling animal overpopulation. At Fontainebleau Veterinary Clinic, we perform this surgery safely with a special focus on your pet's comfort.

What does spaying/neutering involve?

Spaying/neutering is a surgical procedure that varies depending on the sex of the animal, as it involves removing the reproductive organs. For males, this procedure is called castration and involves the removal of the testicles. For females, it is called ovariohysterectomy, a surgery that removes the ovaries and uterus.

At what age is it recommended to spay/neuter my pet?

The ideal age can vary depending on the species and breed of your pet. Your veterinarian can advise you on the best timing based on your companion's specific needs.

Is the surgery safe?

Yes, spaying/neutering is a routine procedure performed under general anesthesia and we take all necessary precautions to ensure the safety and well-being of your pet. Prior to the procedure, a preoperative examination is conducted, and blood tests may be recommended to detect any potential health issues.
