When is it safe to leave my dog alone after spay and mass removal?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed | Female | spayed | 9 years and 2 months old | 4 lbs

Precious got spayed & a mass removed yesterday. & her papers say she has to be calm for 28 days. However, my mom is taking me to a concert thats 6 hours away on May 11th so i probably wouldnt be back home until may 12. Would she be okay by then? My sister will most likely be home with her but if shes not able to would she be okay alone?

The incisions look fine. She should be healed in 14 days so you are fine leaving her with someone to take her out and feed her while you’re away. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach to help you care for Precious.
