Spaying Services at Old Farm Veterinary Hospital
At Old Farm Veterinary Hospital, we are committed to providing high quality care for your furry friends. One of the most important steps you can take to ensure the health and happiness of your female pet is scheduling a spay procedure. Spaying is not only a responsible choice but also a vital step in promoting your pet’s long term well being.
Why Spaying Is Important
Spaying is a surgical procedure that removes the ovaries and uterus of your female pet, preventing unwanted pregnancies and reducing the risk of certain health issues. Here are some of the key benefits:
- Prevents Unwanted Litters
Help reduce the number of homeless pets by preventing unplanned litters.
- Reduces Health Risks
Spaying significantly lowers the risk of uterine infections and life-threatening cancers like mammary tumors.
- Improves Behavior
Spayed pets are less likely to exhibit behaviors associated with heat cycles, such as roaming or aggression.

When to Spay Your Pet
The ideal time to spay your pet depends on their breed, age, and health. Our veterinarians recommend spaying most pets before their first heat cycle, typically around 5-7 months of age, to maximize health benefits. However, we’ll work with you to determine the best timing based on your pet’s individual needs.
