Expert Spays and Neuters in Duxbury, MA

Spaying and neutering are routine surgical procedures that offer significant health and behavioral benefits for pets — while also helping reduce pet overpopulation in our communities.

  • Spaying is the surgical removal of the ovaries and usually the uterus in female pets, eliminating the possibility of pregnancy and significantly reducing the risk of uterine infections (pyometra) and certain cancers.
  • Neutering is the removal of the testicles in male pets, which eliminates the risk of testicular cancer and can help reduce roaming, aggression, and marking behaviors.

Safe, Professional Spay and Neuter Services

These procedures are typically performed around six months of age but may be recommended earlier or later based on breed, size, or medical considerations. Our team will guide you through the timing and process best suited for your pet’s health.

Our surgical team follows best practices for every spay or neuter procedure, including:

Pre-surgical exams and bloodwork
Tailored anesthesia and advanced monitoring
Gentle surgical technique with minimal trauma
Pain management before and after surgery
Detailed home-care instructions and follow-up
These procedures are typically completed as day surgeries, with most pets returning to normal activity in a few days.

Why Spaying and Neutering Matters

Spaying or neutering your pet is one of the best ways to support their lifelong health, completely protecting them from a wide range of infections and diseases.

  • Spaying (females) prevents unwanted pregnancies and reduces the risk of uterine infections and breast tumors.
  • Neutering (males) helps prevent testicular cancer and may reduce behavioral issues like marking, roaming, or aggression.
  • Both procedures help reduce the number of homeless pets and shelter overpopulation in our community.
