Back Bay Veterinary Clinic
Most puppies and kittens will be spayed or neutered to help them live their best lives. Spaying and neutering surgeries for dogs and cats are important to prevent certain types of cancers and conditions and to help your pet live a fulfilled and happy life. Our veterinarians will discuss these surgeries with you and guide you on timing for these procedures. Spaying and neutering are the best solutions for pet overpopulation. Reducing overpopulation eases the burden placed on animal shelters and prevents more dogs and cats from being euthanized. At Back Bay Veterinary Clinic, we want our community to be a haven for pets and to see more animals in loving homes. Spay and neuter procedures are the most humane way to make this possible.
