Spaying and neutering are common yet vital procedures at Montgomery Veterinary Hospital. Doctors provide individualized consultations to help owners make the best long-term health decisions for their pets.
Spay and neuter decisions are not one-size-fits-all. The American Veterinary Medical Association recommends that these decisions be made based on a thorough assessment of each pet’s individual health, breed, age, and lifestyle. At Montgomery Veterinary Hospital, doctors take that same case-by-case approach — reviewing the risks and benefits with you honestly before any recommendation is made, so you always have the information you need to decide what is right for your pet.
At Montgomery Veterinary Hospital, we believe that every surgical recommendation should be grounded in honesty and backed by a genuine understanding of your pet as an individual. We never take a one-size-fits-all approach to spaying and neutering.
We are happy to answer your questions about timing, procedure, recovery, and what to expect before, during, and after your pet’s surgery. Our goal is for you to feel confident and informed every step of the way.
Spaying and neutering at Montgomery Veterinary Hospital means your pet receives the same thorough care, honest communication, and attentive follow-up that we bring to every procedure we perform.
Before your pet’s spay or neuter procedure, doctors will conduct a physical examination and review your pet’s health history. Pre-operative bloodwork is recommended for many patients to confirm organ function and anesthesia safety. We will discuss the procedure, anesthesia plan, and what recovery will look like at home so there are no surprises on the day of surgery. Instructions for fasting before the procedure will be provided in advance.
On the day of surgery, your pet will be admitted to our care, prepped for the procedure, and monitored throughout by our team. Following surgery, we oversee your pet’s recovery from anesthesia before discharge and send you home with clear post-operative care instructions. We are available to answer questions during your pet’s recovery and will schedule a recheck visit if needed to confirm proper healing.

For dogs, the timing depends on factors like breed and body size, with larger breeds often benefiting from waiting longer. our doctors will review the current recommendations and discuss the timing that makes the most sense for your specific pet.
