Spaying or neutering can be done after 6 months of age. Please discuss with your veterinarian the best time to spay or neuter your pet during your appointment. Current vaccinations are required at the time of surgery. Also, a pre-anesthetic blood screen is recommended before undergoing anesthesia and surgery.

This is a blood test that is run a few days or a week before surgery. It tests the organ functions and blood count of your pet. The pre-anesthetic blood screen is done to assure safety during surgery and the ability to heal following surgery.

Procedures involving sutures require them to be removed 10 to 14 days following the surgery.

No, there is no advantage to letting your pet have one litter. However, there are plenty of advantages to having your pet spayed or neutered. These advantages include decreasing the chances of breast tumors later in life, decreasing the chance of cystic ovaries and uterine infections later in life, decreasing the desire to roam the neighborhood, helping prevent spraying and marking, and also decreasing the surplus of unwanted puppies and kittens.

No, we do not board pets. We do not provide overnight observation; if we feel that your pet requires ongoing observation through the night, we will suggest an appropriate local facility.

Please contact us before giving OTC medications to your pet. Animals cannot always handle the same medications we take, and in some cases, these can be very harmful to your pet.
