Responsible Care
What Are Spaying and Neutering and Why Do They Matter?
Spaying (for female pets) and neutering (for male pets) are routine surgical procedures that prevent pets from reproducing. However, their benefits go far beyond population control.
These surgeries help reduce the risk of certain cancers, minimize unwanted behaviors like marking and roaming, and contribute to a longer, healthier life. For shelters and communities overwhelmed by stray and unwanted animals, spaying and neutering also play a huge role in preventing pet overpopulation.
At VetField, we treat every spay and neuter surgery with the same level of care and attention as we would for our own pets. It’s not “just a routine surgery” — it’s an important step in your pet’s lifelong wellness plan.

Why Should I Spay or Neuter My Pet?
Reduces the Risk of Cancer
Spaying helps prevent uterine infections and breast tumors, while neutering helps avoid testicular cancer and prostate issues.
Decreases Aggressive or Unwanted Behaviors
Neutered pets are less likely to mark territory, roam, or display dominance-related aggression.
Prevents Accidental Litters
No surprise puppies or kittens mean fewer animals in shelters and less strain on local resources.
Promotes Longer, Healthier Lives
Studies show that fixed pets often live longer and have fewer health complications over time.
Contributes to a More Peaceful Household
Calmer, more predictable behavior can improve the bond between you and your pet — and help maintain harmony at home.
Frequently Asked Questions
What age should I spay or neuter my pet?
Most pets are ready around 5–6 months of age, but the ideal timing can vary depending on breed, health status, and lifestyle. We’re happy to recommend the best time during a wellness visit.
Is the procedure painful?
Your pet will be under anesthesia and monitored closely. We also provide pain medication to ensure a comfortable recovery.
How long is the recovery time?
Most pets bounce back within 10–14 days. We’ll provide you with complete aftercare instructions and tips to help the healing process go smoothly.
Can I bring my pet home the same day?
Yes! In most cases, pets return home later the same day, once they’ve recovered from anesthesia.
