Why Spaying andNeutering Matters
At Hillcrest Veterinary Clinic, we believe that spaying and neutering are one of the most important decisions you can make for your pet’s lifelong health. Our spay and neuter services not only help control the population of unwanted animals but also provide lasting health and behavioral benefits for both dogs and cats.
Spaying or neutering your pet is a simple, routine procedure that can prevent serious medical conditions and contribute to a calmer, more content companion.
The Health Benefits of Spaying and Neutering
Choosing to spay or neuter your pet can:
- Reduce the risk of certain cancers and reproductive diseases
- Eliminate the possibility of life-threatening uterine infections (pyometra) in females
- Lower the risk of prostate issues and testicular cancer in males
- Minimize or eliminate undesirable behaviors such as roaming, marking, and howling
In addition to improving your pet’s health, sterilization also helps reduce the number of animals in shelters and rescues in need of loving homes.
What to Expect During Your Pet’s Spay or Neuter
At Hillcrest Veterinary Clinic, your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. Every spay and neuter procedure includes:
- A comprehensive pre-surgical exam
- Pre-anesthetic blood work (optional but highly recommended for safety)
- Pain management before, during, and after the procedure
- Monitoring by trained veterinary technicians throughout surgery and recovery
- Personalized discharge instructions and post-operative care guidance
Most pets recover quickly and return to normal activities within a few days.

Spaying and Neutering FAQs
When should my pet be spayed or neutered?
We typically recommend spaying or neutering around 5–6 months of age, but the timing can vary based on your pet’s breed, size, and health.
Is the procedure painful?
We use modern pain management techniques to ensure your pet is as comfortable as possible before, during, and after surgery.
What about microchipping?
Many clients choose to microchip their pet at the time of spay or neuter since the pet will already be under anesthesia.
