Dog Spay & Neuter in Calgary

Our dog spay and neuter procedures are performed by skilled veterinarians using modern surgical equipment and proven techniques.

We understand that bringing your dog in for surgery can be stressful, which is why we focus on providing compassionate care throughout the entire process.

Benefits of Spaying Your Female Dog

• Cancer Prevention: Eliminates ovarian and uterine cancer risks and greatly reduces mammary tumor chances when done early
• Prevents Pyometra: Stops potentially fatal uterine infections common in unspayed females
• No Heat Cycles: Avoids heat cycles that occur every 6-8 months and attract unwanted male attention

Benefits of Neutering Your Male Dog

• Cancer Prevention: Reduces the risk of testicular cancer and lowers the chance of prostate problems later in life
• Improved Behavior: Often leads to reduced aggression, marking, and the urge to roam
• Better Quality of Life: Behavioral improvements make daily life more pleasant for both dogs and their owners

Timing for Dog Spay or Neuter

We generally recommend spaying and neutering dogs between 6 to 12 months of age, though the ideal timing can vary based on your dog's breed, size, and individual health factors.

Our veterinarians will work with you to determine the best timing for your specific pet during a pre-surgical consultation.

Expert Cat Spay & Neuter Services In Calgary

Our cat spay and neuter services are tailored to the unique needs of feline patients.

Cats can reproduce at a remarkably young age, making early spaying and neutering crucial for preventing unwanted litters and health complications.

Why Spaying Your Cat Matters

• Cancer Prevention: Eliminates the risk of ovarian, uterine, and cervical cancers while preventing pyometra
• Stops Heat Cycles: Prevents frequent and disruptive heat cycles in cats
• Eliminates Heat Behaviors: Prevents yowling, restlessness, and escape attempts that occur every few weeks during breeding season

The Importance of Cat Neutering

• Cancer Prevention: Prevents testicular cancer and reduces the risk of prostate disease as they age
• Eliminates Spraying: Stops territorial urine spraying behavior and significantly reduces the strong odor associated with intact male cat urine
• Improved Social Behavior: Reduces aggression toward other cats and increases likelihood of peaceful coexistence with other pets

When to Spay or Neuter Your Cat

We typically recommend spaying and neutering cats around 5 to 6 months of age, before they reach sexual maturity.

However, this timing can vary based on your cat's breed, size, and health factors.

Our veterinarians will work with you to determine the best timing for your specific cat.

Our Comprehensive Spay and Neuter Process

At Barlow Trail Animal Hospital, we provide complete veterinary care throughout your pet's spay or neuter procedure, from initial consultation through full recovery.

Pre-Surgical Care

We begin with a thorough physical examination and review of your pet's medical history.

Pre-surgical blood work may be recommended to ensure your pet is healthy for anesthesia.

Our team provides detailed pre-operative instructions, including fasting guidelines and what to expect on surgery day.

Advanced Surgical Techniques

Our modern surgical suite features monitoring equipment to track your pet's vital signs throughout the procedure.

We use safe anesthesia protocols tailored to each patient and employ minimally invasive techniques to reduce trauma and speed recovery.

Post-Operative Recovery

Your pet recovers in our monitored area until fully awake and stable.

We provide detailed aftercare instructions and remain available for questions during recovery.

Pain management medications are provided to ensure your pet's comfort at home.
