What Are Spay and Neuter Procedures?
Spaying (for female pets) and neutering (for male pets) are routine surgical procedures that prevent animals from reproducing.
Beyond population control, these surgeries offer significant health benefits and can help prevent behavioural issues, certain types of cancers, and life-threatening infections.
At Ojala Family Pet Care, your pet’s comfort and safety are our highest priorities. We use modern techniques, advanced monitoring equipment, and tailored anesthesia protocols to ensure each procedure is as safe and stress-free as possible.
What to Expect During Your Pet’s Surgery
- Pre-Surgical Examination: Before the procedure, we perform a complete physical exam to ensure your pet is healthy enough for anesthesia and surgery.
- Personalized Anesthesia Protocols: We tailor anesthesia plans to your pet’s size, age, and medical history to minimize risk.
- Gentle Surgical Techniques: Our experienced veterinary team uses careful, minimally invasive techniques to promote faster healing.
- Post-Operative Care Instructions: After surgery, we provide detailed home care instructions and are always available if you have questions during recovery.
Most pets recover quickly with proper at-home care, typically resuming normal activities within a few days.
Why Spaying and Neutering Matter
Spaying and neutering are about much more than preventing unwanted litters. These procedures offer vital health and behavioral benefits, including:
- Reducing the risk of uterine infections and mammary gland tumors in females
- Preventing testicular cancer and reducing prostate issues in males
- Decreasing the urge to roam, which reduces the risk of accidents and injuries
- Reducing behavioural problems such as marking, aggression, and excessive vocalization
- Supporting efforts to control pet overpopulation in our community
According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, pets who are spayed or neutered often live longer, healthier lives.

Frequently Asked Questions About Spaying and Neutering
When should I spay or neuter my pet?
The ideal age varies depending on your pet’s breed, size, and health. Generally, spaying or neutering is recommended around 5–6 months of age, but our team will provide individualized recommendations during your pet’s wellness visits.
Will my pet’s personality change after surgery?
Spaying or neutering typically does not change your pet’s core personality. However, you may notice a decrease in hormone-driven behaviours such as roaming, marking, or aggression, leading to a calmer, more content pet.
Is the surgery safe?
Yes, spay and neuter procedures are among the most common and safest surgeries performed in veterinary medicine. At Ojala Family Pet Care, we take every precaution to minimize risks and ensure a smooth, safe procedure.
