Spay and Neuter Surgery in Cedar Rapids
Spaying and neutering your pets is one of the most important preventative procedures you can provide.
Our spay and neuter surgery in Cedar Rapids offers important benefits, including:
- Prevention of reproductive diseases
- Reduction of unwanted behaviors
- Helping to control the pet overpopulation crisis
We also offer laparoscopic spay surgery—a minimally invasive alternative to traditional spay procedures that can reduce pain, speed recovery, and improve comfort for your pet.
Timing matters:
-
For small dogs and cats, spaying or neutering is ideally done around 6 months of age.
-
For medium and large breed dogs, we typically recommend waiting until 9 to 12 months to ensure proper development.
Our team follows strict anesthetic and surgical protocols to maximize your pet’s safety and comfort.
