Spaying or neutering your pet is one of the most important decisions you can make for their long-term health and well-being. They’re among the most common surgeries we perform, with modern anesthesia and careful monitoring throughout.
Spaying removes a female pet’s ovaries and uterus. Beyond preventing unwanted litters, it reduces the risk of uterine infections and mammary tumors, and eliminates the heat cycle — which usually means calmer behavior and less yowling or attempts to escape.
Neutering removes a male pet’s testicles. It eliminates the risk of testicular cancer, reduces prostate problems, and curbs hormone-driven behaviors like marking, mounting, roaming, and aggression — which also lowers their risk of injury.
Gracie came in for her spay and gave us this upside down grin on surgery day. Spays are done right here in our Rock Hill hospital, with an exam and screening first, monitored anesthesia, pain control, and clear instructions for recovery at home.
Shiland Animal Hospital is an owner-operated practice open seven days a week — including evenings and weekends — so you're not left waiting when your pet needs care. With an in-house lab, digital X-ray, and a surgical suite, we diagnose and treat many conditions right here in Rock Hill instead of referring you elsewhere. For sudden illness or injury, see our urgent care options, or contact us with any questions.
Shiland Animal Hospital provides spay & neuter for cats and dogs in Rock Hill, Fort Mill, York, Lancaster, Chester, and Indian Land, SC, as well as Pineville, NC and the greater Charlotte, NC area.
