Frequently Asked Questions About Spay and Neuter Services

What is the best age to spay or neuter my pet in Summerville’s climate?

While we typically recommend spaying or neutering between 4-6 months of age, Dr. Mack will consider your pet’s specific breed, size, and lifestyle to determine the optimal timing. With Summerville’s warm climate, we often see pets reach maturity slightly earlier than in cooler regions.

How long will my pet need to stay at Coastal Creek Animal Hospital?

Most pets are admitted in the morning and go home the same afternoon. We’re conveniently located on Old Trolley Road, making it easy for Summerville residents to drop off and pick up their pets.

What’s the recovery process like?

Most pets return to normal activity within 7-10 days. During recovery, we recommend short leash walks around Colonial Dorchester State Historic Site or your Summerville neighborhood, gradually increasing activity as your pet heals.

Is the procedure safe?

Yes! At Coastal Creek Animal Hospital, we use the latest surgical techniques and monitoring equipment. Dr. Mack has extensive surgical experience from her training at the University of Georgia and performs these procedures regularly.
