My vet mentioned two spay types. Can a spayed dog still go into heat?

Question

Today my dogs blood test was done. Vet told me there are two type of spaying in female. One in which, female will still go on heat cycle and attract male and other in which female will not go under heat cycle and not attract male. I'm in doubt that how after spaying will she go in heat again. I doubt that the vet is not professional. Please answer. Is this procedure exist? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | 27 lbs

There is several ways to spay a dog but spaying traditionally is when the ovaries and uterine horns / body are completely removed. Spaying results in the termination of heat cycles, as in they will no longer happen. If a dog still goes into her after being spayed, it usually means there are remnants of the ovaries left behind. So, to answer your question, there is only one type of spay procedure that results in the complete termination of the heat cycles because the ovaries are what trigger the heat cycles to occur in the first place. Once the ovaries are removed, there is no longer the hormonal influence on the body the triggers the estrus cycle. I hope this helps guide you in the right direction. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns and I would be more than happy to help you further.
