Pet Spaying and Neutering
Cobblestone Veterinary Care in Tempe, AZ, provides safe and compassionate pet spaying and neutering services to help your pet live a healthier, happier life, preventing unwanted litters as well as offering long-term health and behavioral benefits.
What Is Pet Spaying and Neutering?
Spaying (for females) and neutering (for males) are surgical procedures that prevent pets from reproducing. Beyond population control, these procedures are an essential part of preventive veterinary medicine. At Cobblestone Veterinary Care, we treat each pet as an individual, tailoring anesthesia and recovery protocols to their specific needs and health history.
Our veterinarians perform every surgery using sterile techniques and continuous monitoring, ensuring the safest and most stress-free experience possible.
What to Expect During Surgery
When you bring your pet in for spaying or neutering, our team will start by performing a complete pre-surgical exam and may recommend lab work to ensure your pet is a good candidate for anesthesia. During the procedure, we:
Provide pre-anesthetic medications to reduce anxiety and discomfort.
Use state-of-the-art anesthesia and surgical monitoring equipment.
Maintain sterile, temperature-controlled conditions.
Offer thorough post-operative pain management and recovery support.
After surgery, you’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions to help your pet heal comfortably at home. Our experienced veterinary team performs every surgery with meticulous care, advanced monitoring, and a focus on comfort—because your pet deserves nothing less.
Why Pet Spaying and Neutering Matters
Spaying and neutering play a vital role in improving your pet’s health and quality of life. These procedures help prevent or reduce:
- Certain cancers (such as uterine, ovarian, and testicular cancer)
- Uterine infections (pyometra) in female pets
- Hormone-driven behaviors like roaming, marking, and aggression
- The risk of accidental litters and pet overpopulation
For most dogs and cats, spaying or neutering also supports a calmer, more balanced temperament—making life easier for pets and owners alike.
Benefits of Spaying and Neutering
- Supports long-term physical and behavioral health
- Reduces the risk of reproductive diseases
- Prevents unplanned pregnancies and overpopulation
- Encourages better focus, calmer behavior, and fewer marking issues
- Contributes to a longer, healthier, and more comfortable life
