SPAY & NEUTER

At our animal hospital, we prioritize early life care, and that includes spaying or neutering your pets. With three different locations, we're committed to merging accessibility with your pet needs. Beyond preventing unwanted pregnancies and controlling stray animal populations, these procedures offer significant health benefits.

From reducing the risk of certain cancers to curbing behavioral problems, spaying and neutering contribute to the overall well-being of your pet and the community -- our our dedicated veterinary team is here for you.

Improving your pet's health

While it might be surprising, spaying or neutering both dogs and cats has been shown to increase their lifespan. By removing reproductive organs through the procedure, any risk of future disease development in those organs will be significantly reduced later in life.

Specifically, you’ll protect your pet from:

  • Breast/mammary cancer
  • Ovarian cancer
  • Pyometra (infection of the uterus)
  • Testicular cancer
  • Prostate cancer

POSITIVE Effects on Pet Behavior

Believe it or not, spaying or neutering can positively shape behaviors in pets, including:

 

  • Less roaming around the neighborhood
  • Reduced aggression and fighting with other dogs and cats
  • Minimized or prevented tendency of marking territory among male pets
  • End to caterwauling and other loud vocalizations
  • Limited mounting by males on other pets, objects, furniture, or people

Hands down the best. I have been to many other vets in Dallas (and Austin) - these folks actually care. Doctors / Medical staff are great, and the front office staff are so helpful as well! Thank you for being a trusted part of the pet-loving community, Metro Paws Animal Hospital ❤️

– Sophie M.

Dr. Lauren Strazdis is phenomenal. She has been treating our deaf, partially blind and slightly neurological foster puppy. Her professionalism and bedside manner are truly first class. My dog is an extremely difficult K9 patient and I trust her blindly. Don’t think twice about going to see her. Even through Covid she has made our experience exceptional.

– Kent B.

There are not enough words to express how wonderful Dr. Donaldson is as a veterinarian. She is one of the most knowledgeable, friendly and most importantly, compassionate people I have had the pleasure of meeting. If you need the absolute best care for your pets, Metro Paws Animal Hospital - Oak Cliff is the place to go!

I love this office. The staff are so friendly and understanding. I'm a doting dog mom who gets nervous even when I just need to take my dog to get annual shots, but I know I'm in great hands. We love Dr. Badamo who is now primarily at the Oak Cliff location, but all of the vets and assistants we've met have been lovely. They are attentive and I don't feel rushed during each consultation. They treat my dog with love and check on him after any procedures or shots to make sure he's doing okay. I would recommend them to any and all animal owners.

– Anne M.

I was so worried about going to the vet in a pandemic, but Metro Paws Animal Hospitals has a totally contactless system that blew me away. Seriously they were so organized and thorough I felt both safe, and also felt like my pet got proper care. Bravo.
