Spay & Neuter Surgery

When is a good time to spay or neuter your pets?

North Springs Animal Clinic recommends that each puppy or kitten get their spay or neuter surgery earlier, rather than later. This common surgical procedure brings a number of health benefits, and helps reduce  overpopulation.

Our veterinarians generally recommend spay and surgery happen roughly when your pet is 6 months of age. As with any surgery, our team examines each pet prior to their procedure, may recommend pre-surgical testing, and will monitor your pet regularly during their procedure. Once your pet has been discharged, we will go over any discharge instructions so that your pets can recover quickly and comfortably.

What are the benefits of spaying and neutering your pets

Spaying and neutering can give pets a better quality of life by:

  • Reducing incidences of roaming and fights with other dogs or cats
  • Minimizing the tendency of males marking their territory with strong-smelling urine in the house
  • Putting an end to constant, loud vocalizations for pets who want to roam
  • Stopping males from trying to mount other animals, furniture, or people
  • Eliminating testicular cancer in males.
  • Eliminating mammary gland cancers and pyometra, a uterine infection in females.

I have been going to this clinic for 24 years. I think that tells you all you
need to know.

— Alex T.

Everyone from the receptionist, the vet techs to the Doctors are so helpful, professional and knowledgeable. My dogs and I feel so comfortable and trust them so much! Dr. Sokol was able to identify a rare disease that my new dog had and established a new diet and treatment plan ASAP. The communication of this plan was perfect and the plan has worked wonders for my dog. I will continue to be a loyal client for years to come.

— Wendy M.

I've been bringing my pets to North Springs Animal Clinic since I moved to Sandy Springs 12 years ago. My pets get great care here. The office staff and the vets are wonderful. I know they really care about my furbabies.
