Overview

About Spay & Neuter

Spaying and neutering is one of the most common and beneficial surgeries in veterinary medicine. Beyond preventing unwanted litters, these procedures can prevent serious health conditions including mammary tumors, pyometra, and testicular cancer.

At Clix Family Hospitals, every spay/neuter includes pre-anesthetic bloodwork, dedicated anesthesia monitoring, multimodal pain management, and a follow-up recheck — all performed in our state-of-the-art surgical suite.
