Spay & Neuter

Spaying or neutering at TLC Vet Care is more than a routine “fix.” It’s a comprehensive wellness event designed to extend lifespan, curb unwanted behaviors, and combat the pet overpopulation crisis in south-central Nebraska.

‍

Top five reasons to schedule early  

1. Females spayed before their first heat have a 90 % reduction in mammary cancer risk.  

2. Eliminates life-threatening uterine infection (pyometra) in adult dogs and cats.  

3. Neutered males avoid testicular cancer and experience dramatically fewer prostate problems.  

4. Decreases roaming, urine marking, howling, and some dominance behaviors.  

5. Helps our Hastings community shelters by preventing accidental litters.
