Dog and Cat Neutering Services in Salem, OR
When you have your dog or cat neutered by our Salem vet clinic, it can give your pet many benefits for years to come. The procedure, which prevents male animals from reproducing, can help your dog or cat live a longer, healthier life. Neutering will not change your pet’s personality.
To reduce the risk of sexually transmitted diseases and eliminate the possibility of prostate and testicular cancer for your dog, our Salem veterinary hospital offers expert neutering procedures for both dogs and cats. Neutering will also reduce or eliminate undesirable and embarrassing behavior, including roaming, fighting, humping, and spraying. In addition, neutering your pet will help control the dog and cat overpopulation problem, keeping more animals out of shelters.
Neutering, which involves removing the testicles, is a surgical procedure and does need to be performed with the pet under anesthesia. We follow strict protocols and continually monitor your pet’s vital signs to help ensure his safety. Please see the descriptions under Anesthesia and Patient Monitoring for more information on what our neutering specialists in Salem do to keep your dog or cat safe.
To set up an appointment to have your dog or cat neutered at our Salem veterinary hospital or to learn more about this procedure, please call or visit our clinic. If you are struggling with the decision of whether to neuter your pet, please call us so we can discuss your concerns.
