Prolonging Well-Being with Spay and Neuter Services in Oregon, WI
Spay and neuter surgery is an important step in your pet’s first year of life. It sets your puppy or kitten up for a healthier, happier life with you. Beyond preventing unwanted litters, the surgery offers numerous health benefits for your pet including reduced risk of developing certain cancers. Furthermore, by reducing the number of unwanted litters, you play an important role in decreasing the stray pet population.
We offer safe, effective spay and neuter surgeries for puppies and kittens only at our Oregon, WI location. Due to the skills of our veterinarians, we're able to use a laparoscope for spays, which is far less invasive and offers pets a faster recovery.

Spay and neuter surgery refers to the removal of your pet’s reproductive organs, namely the testicles of males and the ovaries and uterus of females. These organs are instrumental in producing reproductive hormones that rule your pet’s life and make them less focused on you and your family and more focused on their instinct to reproduce. Intact cats and dogs can get into a lot of trouble—they may be more aggressive; they are prone to more escapes in their efforts to find a mate; and female heat cycles are frustrating for pet and owner alike.
Furthermore, reproductive hormones contribute to the development of certain cancers including testicular cancer, ovarian, cervical, and uterine cancers, as well as mammary gland tumors, which are often fatal in female cats and dogs.
Surgery helps reduce the risks outlined above as well as contribute to a better-behaved pet. Benefits include:
- Less desire to roam to find a mate, which means fewer escapes that could put your pet in harm’s way
- Reduced aggression in neutered dogs and cats
- Less inclination for urine spraying and mounting behaviors in neutered cats and dogs
- No heat cycles in spayed dogs and cats
- Eliminated risk of testicular cancer in neutered pets
- Eliminated risk of pyometra, along with uterine, cervical, and ovarian cancers in spayed pets
- Significantly reduced risk of mammary gland tumors in spayed cats and dogs
We usually recommend surgery at about 6 months of age for most pets, yet some, such as large breed dogs, benefit from a later surgery. We’ll work with you to find the best timing for surgery so your pet experiences the most benefits.
