Tattoo: Animals who have had a sterilization surgery receive a small tattoo. This small green tattoo is placed near the incision site after a spay or neuter to provide a permanent, universal indicator that the pet has already been sterilized. This protects pets throughout their lifetime by preventing unnecessary surgery. No complications from the tattoo are expected, as sterile instruments are used to create it. However, please monitor both the tattoo site and the incision for redness, swelling, or discharge. If these occur, please contact the clinic or call our after-hours line.
