Top 3 Reasons to Spay and Neuter Your Pet

Overpopulation causes immense suffering for dogs and cats in the Cayman Islands and beyond. Cats can reproduce 45× faster than humans, dogs 15× faster. Spaying and neutering prevents unwanted litters—stopping neglect, abandonment, and euthanasia before they happen.

Spayed and neutered pets live longer—dogs by 1–3 years, cats by 3–5 years. The procedure greatly reduces the risk of cancer and serious infections, meaning fewer emergencies, lower vet bills, and more healthy years together.

Altered pets are calmer and less likely to roam, fight, or get hurt. Up to 85% of dogs hit by cars are unaltered, and intact outdoor male cats often live less than two years due to disease and injury.

No food after 8pm the night before. No water after midnight. Do not feed your pet the morning of surgery.

Drop off between 8:00–8:30am. We’ll call when your pet is ready—usually 3:00–5:00pm. Please call early if you need to cancel or reschedule.

Dogs must be on a leash. Cats must be in a secure carrier.

Your pet will be sleepy after anesthesia. Provide a warm, quiet space and expect rest for 1–3 days.

Mild swelling is normal. Check daily for excessive swelling or drainage. No ointments or lotions. Prevent rough play for 2–3 weeks. A cone may be needed if licking occurs.

Once fully awake, offer small amounts of food and water. Normal feeding resumes the next day.
