Why Spay or Neuter Your Pet?
At Aycock Veterinary Clinic, we provide expert pet spay and neuter services in a safe, comfortable environment — because your pet’s well-being is our top priority!
Health Benefits:
- Spaying helps prevent uterine infections, reproductive tract diseases, and reduces the risk of breast tumors, especially when done before the first heat cycle.
- Neutering eliminates the risk of testicular cancer and reduces the likelihood of prostate disease in male pets.
Behavioral Improvements:
- Neutered males are less likely to roam, mark territory, or exhibit aggressive or mounting behavior.
- Spayed females won’t go into heat, preventing restlessness, vocalization, and unwanted attention from male animals.
Helping the Community:
Millions of dogs and cats enter shelters every year due to unplanned litters. Spaying and neutering your pets helps combat the pet overpopulation crisis and reduces the number of homeless animals in our communities.
What to Expect: The Spay & Neuter Procedure
We take every precaution to ensure your pet’s safety and comfort throughout the spay or neuter procedure. Here’s what you can expect:
- Pre-Surgical Exam & Consultation: Before any surgery, we perform a thorough physical exam and may recommend pre-anesthetic bloodwork to assess your pet’s health.
- Anesthesia & Monitoring: Your pet is placed under general anesthesia, and trained veterinary professionals continuously monitor their vital signs throughout the procedure.
- The Procedure:
- Spaying involves the removal of the ovaries and uterus
- Neutering involves the removal of the testicles. These are routine surgeries performed with strict sterile protocols
- Recovery & Aftercare: After the surgery, your pet is monitored during recovery and sent home with detailed care instructions. Most pets bounce back quickly and are back to their usual selves within a few days.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is spaying or neutering painful for my pet?
Your pet is under general anesthesia during the procedure and will receive pain relief before and after surgery. Most pets recover quickly with minimal discomfort.
What’s the best age to spay or neuter my pet?
The ideal age can vary depending on species, breed, and individual health. We typically recommend spaying or neutering between 4 and 6 months of age, but we’ll help determine the right timing for your pet.
Will my pet’s personality change?
Spaying or neutering does not change your pet’s personality. It may help reduce certain unwanted behaviors, but your pet’s core temperament will remain the same.
Can I spay or neuter an older pet? Is there more risk?
Yes, older pets can still be safely spayed or neutered. While the risks of anesthesia and surgery may be slightly higher in senior pets, we perform thorough pre-surgical exams. We may recommend additional diagnostic testing to ensure your pet is a good candidate. Many adult and senior pets benefit significantly from these procedures, and our team is experienced in managing their special needs.
Can my pet eat or drink before the procedure?
We recommend that pets not eat for 8–12 hours before surgery to reduce the risk of aspiration while under anesthesia. However, water is usually allowed until a few hours before the procedure. We will provide clear, customized instructions when you schedule your pet’s appointment.
At Aycock Veterinary Clinic, we believe every pet deserves a healthy start in life. Whether you’ve recently adopted a puppy or kitten or you’re considering surgery for an adult pet, we’re here to provide expert, compassionate spay and neuter services.
