When you choose to spay or neuter your pets, you make it possible for them to experience a range of both medical and behavioral benefits. Spaying a female reduces her risk of uterine infections and breast tumors. Neutering your male makes him less likely to develop certain types of cancer. Owners and pets avoid the behavioral and physical changes that go with an female in heat or a male that feels the urge to wander away from home in search of a mate or tries to dominate un-neutered pets. Spaying and neutering are much more cost-effective than caring for a pet with gender-related health issues or raising an unexpected litter.
Every pet has unique healthcare needs. Sometimes, issues involving the skin, eyes, digestive, or reproductive system are best treated with surgery. When your animal needs a routine procedure like spaying, neutering or tumor removal, you can trust Animal Hospital of East Cobb to provide expert care before, during and after the procedure. We perform a range surgical procedures, but will recommend referral to a specialty surgeon if indicated. Our sterile, technologically-advanced facility allows us to provide precise treatment for your pet. During aftercare, we monitor patients to manage pain and ensure a speedy recovery.
