Choosing To Spay or Neuter
Pet spays and neuters are surgical procedures performed by veterinarians to prevent pets from reproducing. Spaying, the procedure for female pets, involves removing the ovaries and usually the uterus. Neutering, for male pets, involves removing the testicles. These surgeries are common, safe, and performed under general anesthesia to ensure your pet’s comfort and safety.
Opting to spay or neuter your pet reflects a loving and responsible decision towards their well-being and the welfare of the animal community. At Pumpkin Hill Veterinary Clinic, our team is dedicated to making the process as smooth and comfortable as possible for you and your pet. We provide care and support every step of the way from preoperative examinations and blood work for anesthesia safety to post-operative instructions and pain management.

The Trio of Benefits: Health, Behavior, and Community
Choosing to spay or neuter your companion at Pumpkin Hill Veterinary Clinic has a positive impact on you, your four-legged friend, and the community.
Health Benefits
Longer, Healthier Lives: Spaying helps prevent uterine infections and breast tumors in female pets. Neutering can prevent testicular cancer and some prostate problems in males.
Reduced Risk of Roaming: Pets are less likely to roam, reducing the risk of accidents or getting lost.
Behavioral Improvements
Reduced Aggression: Neutered males often show less aggression and are less likely to spray or mark their territory.
Lower Stress Levels: Spayed females are relieved from the stress and discomfort of heat cycles.
Community Impact
Combats Pet Overpopulation: Millions of unwanted pets end up in shelters or out on the street every year. Spaying and neutering are direct actions against this issue, helping reduce the number of animals without homes.
Promotes Public Health: Minimizing the amount of stray animals reduces the risk of them spreading diseases.
