Spay and Neuter in Salem, VA

Spay and Neuter – Benefits for Your Pet

Spaying or neutering your pet provides numerous health and behavioral benefits. Sterilization through spaying, a common procedure performed by our skilled veterinary surgeons, can prevent certain cancers and infections in female pets.

In male pets, the surgical sterilization known as neutering can curb aggressive behaviors and eliminate risks of testicular cancer.

Our friendly staff at Salem Animal Hospital recommends this invaluable veterinary service to protect your family pet’s well-being. Typically completed when animals reach 6-12 months of age, these procedures not only contribute to a healthier pet but also help control the animal population within our community.

The efficient spay and neuter services we offer are part of our commitment to offering comprehensive medical care for all animal pet patients that come through our doors.
