At San Antonio Wellness Spay & Neuter Clinic, we believe every cat and dog deserves the best chance at a long, healthy, and happy life. One of the most important steps in responsible pet care is spay and neuter surgery. Our clinic in San Antonio is dedicated to providing safe, affordable, and compassionate spay and neuter services for dogs and cats.
Why Spay and Neuter Matters
Health Benefits
Spaying female cats and dogs helps prevent uterine infections and significantly reduces the risk of mammary tumors. Neutering male pets prevents testicular cancer and lowers the risk of certain prostate conditions. These preventive benefits mean your pet is less likely to face serious health issues later in life.
Better Behavior
Neutered males are less likely to roam, fight, or mark territory. Spayed females won’t go into heat, which eliminates restlessness, yowling, and attempts to escape. Pets that are spayed or neutered are often calmer, easier to train, and more affectionate at home.
Population Control
San Antonio, like many communities, faces challenges with pet overpopulation. Unplanned litters often end up in shelters, and many animals go without homes. Spaying or neutering your pet helps reduce the number of unwanted kittens and puppies, making a real difference in the community.
Cost Savings
The cost of surgery is far less than the expenses that come with unexpected litters, injuries from roaming, or medical treatment for reproductive-related illnesses. Spay and neuter is a smart investment in your pet’s health and your peace of mind.
When Should You Spay or Neuter Your Pet?
Most cats and dogs can be spayed or neutered around 4 to 6 months of age. Larger breed dogs may benefit from waiting a bit longer, but even older pets can undergo surgery after a health evaluation. Our veterinary team will guide you on the best timing for your pet.
What to Expect at San Antonio Wellness
Our veterinarians perform a full pre-surgery exam to ensure your dog or cat is ready for the procedure. We use safe anesthesia methods and monitor your pet closely throughout surgery and recovery. After surgery, you’ll receive clear home-care instructions and support from our team to make the healing process smooth.
Common Myths
- “My pet will get fat after surgery.” Weight gain is due to overfeeding or lack of exercise, not spay or neuter surgery.
- “It changes their personality.” Pets remain the same loving companions, just without certain unwanted behaviors.
- “Indoor pets don’t need it.” Even indoor cats and dogs can escape, and spaying or neutering prevents health risks regardless of lifestyle.
