Before surgery

What happens at your consultation

Before your dog's or cat's spay or neuter procedure, we'll do a full nose-to-tail physical exam and bloodwork to make sure they're healthy and ready for anesthesia.

Your vet will walk you through the next steps, answer your questions, and give you an estimate based on your pet's size and needs.

Once your pet is cleared for spaying or neutering, you'll have 30 days to schedule the surgery before we need new labs.

Common questions

Spay & neuter, answered.

When is the best time to spay or neuter a dog?
+
Veterinarians typically recommend spay or neuter surgery for dogs that are 6 months or older. However, the best time to spay or neuter a dog will depend on various factors like breed, size, overall health, and so on.
When is the best time to neuter or spay a cat?
+
Most kittens can undergo spay or neuter surgery at around 5 months of age. However, veterinarians can adjust the recommended time based on your cat's individual needs.
What's the difference between spay and neuter surgeries?
+
The spay surgery, for female dogs and cats, involves the careful removal of the ovaries and uterus. Meanwhile, the neuter procedure involves the careful removal of the testicles in male dogs and cats.
Will my pet change after the spay or neuter surgery?
+
Your furry companion will still be themselves, just calmer, healthier, and less likely to display mating-related and territorial behaviors, including roaming, escaping, or urine marking.
Is anesthesia safe?
+
Yes! We do a pre-op physical exam and bloodwork as medical screening before the procedure. During the surgery itself, our expert team monitors your pet continuously to ensure their safety.
How long does recovery take?
+
Most pets feel back to normal in a day or two, with full recovery in around 10–14 days.
Do I need to come back for a recheck?
+
Yep! We'll schedule a quick follow-up to check your pet's healing and remove sutures if needed.
Do you offer financing?
+
Yes, CareCredit is available for spaying and neutering or any veterinary procedure at Sploot that's over $200.
Does SplootPack™ apply to spay and neuter surgeries?
+
Absolutely! You'll save on the consultation, procedure, follow-up check-up, and meds.

With the SplootPack, the pre-op consultation can be included as one of your 3 FREE exams (if they're not yet used). Additionally, a 10% discount can apply to the pre-op bloodwork, and a 25% discount applies to the spay or neuter procedure itself.
Can I spay or neuter an older pet?
+
Yes, some older pets can be spayed or neutered safely. However, this depends on their overall health, age, and other factors, which highlights the importance of the pre-op physical exam and bloodwork.
