What to Know About Spaying
Spaying is a surgical procedure performed on female dogs and cats to remove the ovaries and uterus. At Embassy Veterinary Center, our veterinarians recommend spaying at an age that aligns with your pet’s unique health needs. While spaying before the first heat cycle is common, we tailor our recommendations to what will best benefit your individual pet.
