The cost may be a little more for the laparoscopic procedures, but my animals are my pets *and* my family. The recovery is so much quicker [with laparoscopic]. So my family -- including my pets -- would never have anything but laparoscopic surgery.
Cathy Caezza
Pet Owner
In the sense of having postoperative bleeding, I think [a lap spay] is much safer because those bellies are dry. Those bellies are completely dry when we close them, and they don't change.
Jim Houchens, DVM
Veterinarian (Retired)
Comparing the two different spays with our dogs Luna and Tater -- traditional vs. laparoscopic -- the difference was night and day. I definitely recommend going with the laparoscopic. It's safer, a speedier recovery time, and less pain on the dog.
Katie Kuschel
Pet Owner
Every time I see one of my vets do a laparoscopic spay, I tell them, “You just changed the world! Way to go! That dog is so much better off [with a] laparoscopic spay. Don't you feel good about that?" And they say, "Yeah, I do. I really do."
Pam Nichols, DVM
Owner, Animal Care Daybreak (UT)
Laparoscopic surgery adds a new dimension to a surgical procedure because of the magnification of the tissues and organs as well as the ability to do a superficial exploratory with each procedure.

I was able to see the benefits [of lap spays] firsthand when I spayed my 8-month-old Lab, Polly. I had to stop her from running around when she arrived home after her spay. As a vet and a pet owner, I will never go back to routine spays.
Marwan Tarazi, DVM
Former Director, Werrington Vets (UK)
We had a couple of dogs that had experienced difficulties with the traditional spays. So we were more than happy to try to see what this new option would offer for our dogs. It just confirmed our appreciation for this technique.

Pet Owner
With a dog that's been [traditionally] spayed and has that cut down their belly, there's always a chance that will get gnarly and you've got to go back to the vet. With so much less invasion, the laparoscopic is so much more easy to work with.
Amy Schmidt
Pet Owner
My dog Ralphie was spayed traditionally. I have since learned about the benefits of a laparoscopic spay which are less pain, faster recovery, and fewer complications. My next dog will get a lap spay instead!
Andrew Poole
Pet Owner
I've seen how small the laparoscopic incisions are and how quickly and easily the dogs recover. Now I can't imagine putting any dog of mine through a conventional open surgery for a spay, cryptorchid, prophylactic gastropexy, or liver biopsy.
Marjorie Wallwey
Pet Owner
Keyhole is best! No pets in our care need suffer any unnecessary pain, fear or distress. Less post-op discomfort or pain is just so important, and, where possible keyhole is a far better option than traditional open surgeries.
Dr. Craig Reilly
Cedarmount Veterinary Clinic (UK)
Laparoscopic surgeries have elevated the level of care that we can provide for our patients. They go home comfortable, happy, and with a very small scar. So many pet parents have commented how great their pet looks and feels the next day!
Dr. Lilla Yan
Southeast Oakville Veterinary Hospital (Canada)
I would tell pet owners that versus the traditional spay, the lap spay is less painful. It is also minimally invasive and the incision is smaller. [The dogs] recover faster, and there is data that shows a lower rate of complications.
Dr. Aris Atakem
Liberty Animal Hospital (CO)
I no longer offer traditional spays in my practice. [With lap spays] my patients wake up and go home significantly more comfortable. Clients tell me that post-procedure their dog acted “like nothing ever happened."
