What is the surgery?

• “Spaying” is the term used for female animals and the surgical removal of the ovaries and uterus. 
• “Neutering” is the term used for male animals and is the surgical removal of the testicles.
• “Fixing” your pet is another term for spaying/neutering.
• Your female pet should be spayed before her first heat cycle—which commonly occurs at 5 to 6 months.  However, it is never too late to spay or neuter your pet. 
• Spaying or neutering your pet is a very safe procedure.  Call us for an appointment today. 405-947-SPAY

Good for your pet

• Pets that are spayed/neutered have decreased or zero risk of certain types of cancer.
• Spaying or neutering your pet can decrease the risk of diseases that are expensive to treat
• Animals that are fixed make better companions because they are not motivated to wander in search of a mate.

Good for you–eliminate annoying behavior problems!

• Neutered male cats are significantly less likely to spray (urine-marking) or wander in search of females.
• Female dogs or cats in heat can cry incessantly, act nervous and attract males from all around.  Spaying eliminates the heat cycle.
• Animals that have been spayed/neutered are less likely to bite, roam or get into fights.

Good for the community

• Over 17,000 dogs & cats are euthanized in Oklahoma City Animal Shelter every year simply because there are not enough homes.
• It can cost up to $176 dollars to capture, house and either adopt or euthanize stray and unwanted pets.  These are your tax dollars.  However, it costs only $30 to $60 to get your animal fixed at our clinic.
• A compassionate society knows there is a better way to solve overpopulation than needlessly euthanizing unwanted animals.
