Spaying and neutering can have major benefits for your pet, including lowering or preventing the risk of several diseases and types of cancer. Your veterinarian will be happy to discuss these benefits. In addition, spaying and neutering help control the pet population by reducing the number of unwanted pets.

Spaying and neutering are surgical procedures that require your pet to be put under anesthesia. The cost of these procedures takes into account the anesthesia, your veterinary team’s time and expertise, monitoring, drapes, suture material, and hospitalization. Spaying or neutering your pet is much less expensive than dealing with potential pregnancy complications or reproductive diseases.

In an effort to stress the importance of them and encourage you to have your pet spayed or neutered, standard elective spay and neuter procedures are discounted procedures.  If billed as a normal surgical procedure, they would cost 2-3 times the current costs.  Contact our Toronto animal hospital to discuss any concerns you may have with spaying or neutering your pet.
