At what age do I need to have my pet spayed?

Spaying or neutering can be done at approximately 4-6 months of age. Your pet is given an exam prior to surgery to help determine whether your pet is healthy enough to undergo the surgical procedure. Current vaccinations are required at the time of surgery. Also pre-anesthetic blood screen is required prior to undergoing anesthesia and surgery. Pain medications will be given before, during, and after surgery to ensure your pets post-operative comfort.

What is the pre-anesthetic blood screening?

This is a blood test that is performed here in the hospital prior to surgery. We test for organ functions, blood count and clotting function of your pet's circulatory system. Pre-anesthetic blood screening is done to assure safety during surgery and the ability to heal following surgery.

How long do the sutures stay in after my pet's surgery?

Most of our routine surgeries do not require skin sutures.  Procedures involving sutures or skin staples require them to be removed in 14 days following the surgery.  

Is it a good idea to let my pet have at least one litter?

No, there is no advantage to letting your pet have one litter. However there are plenty of advantages to having you 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, decreasing the incidence of prostate cancer later in life, helping prevent spraying and marking, and also decreases the surplus of unwanted puppies and kittens.

Do you board pets?

Yes, we do boarding for our clients. We have boarding space for both dogs and cats. We also can board other small animals, but you will be required to bring your own cage and their special food for your pet. Our dog kennels are all indoor. The dogs are walked 3 times daily while they are boarding. The cat boarders are housed in a separate area away from the dogs. Blankets and food are provided for our boarders, but you are always welcome to bring your own.
