At Santaluz Animal Care, we believe spaying and neutering are some of the most important health decisions you’ll make for your pet. These routine procedures do more than prevent unwanted litters. Spaying and neutering actually supports lifelong health and can even improve behavior.
We recommend this procedure for so many reasons, but there are health benefits that make it a clear choice. Spaying helps prevent life-threatening uterine infections and dramatically lowers the risk of mammary tumors, which are malignant in about 50% of dogs and 90% of cats. Neutering prevents testicular cancer and can reduce prostate issues, roaming behaviors, and marking. The result? A healthier, happier pet who’s more focused on being your best friend rather than finding a mate.
Our Personalized Approach
- Pre-anesthetic bloodwork: We ensure your pet is healthy enough for surgery through comprehensive testing.
- Customized anesthesia protocols: Each pet receives an anesthesia plan tailored to their age, breed, and health status.
- Continuous monitoring: From the moment anesthesia begins until your pet is fully awake, our trained team watches every vital sign.
- Proactive pain management: We manage pain before, during, and after surgery so your pet’s recovery is as comfortable as possible.
- Nutritional guidance: We’ll help you adjust feeding to maintain a healthy weight post-surgery—because we know you’re worried about weight gain!
