What is an Ovary Sparing Spay?
An ovary-sparing spay (OSS) involves removing the uterus and cervix while leaving one or both ovaries intact. Because the uterus is removed, your pet will be unable to become pregnant, even if mating occurs, however your pet will still maintain their natural hormonal balance.

Surgery Process
Bringing a family member in for surgery is never an easy thing. At Holistic Pet Care Center, we know exactly what you’re going through because we’re pet parents, just like you. Rest assured that we’ll do whatever it takes to ensure that your loved one’s procedure is as stress-free as possible.
Pre-Surgical Care
Our comprehensive surgical care begins with thorough preoperative screening to help reduce the risk of complications for your pet. We’ll also customize a safe, effective plan to keep your pet comfortable and pain-free – before, during and following surgery.

CBC- A CBC evaluates blood and different types of cell currently in circulation. It also evaluates your pet's red blood cells, which carry oxygen from your lungs to the rest of your body and white blood cells, which fight infections and other diseases. It will also test platelets which help with blood clotting.
Chem 10- A Chem 10 measures the amount of certain substances in your pet's blood, such as electrolytes, fats, proteins, glucose, and enzymes. The test can provide important information about your pet's overall health and how well your pet's organs are functioning.
