Your Reliable Reisterstown Veterinary Hospital

TLC for Pets Veterinary Hospital is proud to be the trusted clinic of the Reisterstown area for any number of pet care services and procedures. From general wellness exams and vaccinations to dental care, internal medicine, and everything in between, we're here to provide the finest in veterinary care to each animal that is brought through our doors.

One of the more common procedures we perform here in our office is that of spay and neuter surgery.

The Importance of Spay and Neuter Procedures

Having a spay or neuter surgery performed on a pet prevents it from being able to reproduce, which comes with its own benefits. For starters, preventing your pet from reproducing means you're doing your part to help control the already-excessive pet population. As a result, you just might indirectly help a stray or homeless animal become adopted into a caring and loving family. At the same time, if you have a female pet, you are potentially saving her from months of suffering through a pregnancy and labor.

Of course, spay and neuter procedures come with other benefits as well. For male and female cats, those that are spayed or neutered typically have less of a desire to roam since they do not feel the need to reproduce. In females, there is also a reduced risk of mammary gland tumors, ovarian and uterine cancers, and other health problems. In males, a reduced risk of testicular cancer has also been found.

And of course, pets who are spayed or neutered also tend to lead longer and healthier lives. This applies to both dogs and cats!

What to Expect For Your Pet in Reisterstown 

If your pet isn't currently spayed or neutered, we recommend having a talk with our Reisterstown vet so we can discuss your options. If you choose to have the procedure done, we'll first make sure your pet is of the proper age and/or weight. From there, we can typically have the procedure performed and your pet back at home the same day or the day after.
