Benefits of Spaying and Neutering Your Pet
Spaying and neutering help protect pets from several preventable health concerns while supporting long-term well-being.
These procedures may help:
Prevent unplanned litters
Reduce the risk of reproductive cancers and infections
Decrease roaming behaviors that can lead to injuries
Reduce hormone-driven behaviors in some pets
Support responsible pet population management
Every pet is unique, and our veterinarians will help determine the right timing for your pet's procedure based on their age, breed, and overall health.
Spay and Neuter Packages
Designed for Safety
At Prairie Hills Animal Hospital, we package our spay and neuter procedures so pets receive comprehensive care before, during, and after surgery. These packages were developed with your pet's comfort and safety as the top priority.
Each spay and neuter package includes:
Pre-anesthetic blood work
IV catheter placement and IV fluids throughout the procedure and recovery
Full anesthesia and related medications, including pre-operative pain medication
A physical exam prior to anesthesia
Post-operative pain medications
An Elizabethan collar (E-collar) to support safe healing
These measures allow our team to monitor your pet closely and help them recover comfortably after surgery.
Preparing Your Pet for Surgery
To help us provide the safest possible care, pets scheduled for surgery are asked to visit our animal hospital 48 hours before their procedure for pre-operative blood testing.
This screening allows our veterinarians to evaluate organ function and identify any concerns ahead of time. If anything unusual appears, we can discuss it with you and adjust anesthesia protocols or treatment plans before surgery day.
Having this information in advance also allows samples to be analyzed by an outside laboratory, which helps reduce costs while allowing our technicians to focus their time and attention on patient care during surgery.
