At 14th Street Animal Hospital, we perform spaying and neutering in Plano with a focus on surgical excellence and compassionate care.

What to Expect
Your visit, step by step
When you bring your pet to 14th Street Animal Hospital for spay or neuter surgery, they receive comprehensive care to ensure safety and comfort. Before surgery, we conduct pre-anesthetic blood testing to confirm your pet is healthy enough for the procedure. During surgery, we maintain the highest standards and closely monitor your pet's vital signs. We administer appropriate pain medication before, during, and after the procedure, and send you home with detailed discharge instructions covering activity restrictions, medication schedules, and signs that warrant a follow-up visit.
When to Schedule
Common reasons to book
- Female dogs and cats: ideally before the first heat cycle
- Male dogs: typically 6–18 months depending on breed and size
- Male cats: around 5–6 months of age
