Surgery for Dogs and Cats
Spay/Neuter - To alter or not to alter? That is the question.
Spaying or neutering can be done at approximately six months of age. There is some newer research on the best age to spay or neuter your pet, and there are several health considerations to weigh when making the decision, including their lifestyle, breed, and predisposition to certain conditions. We will discuss all of this with you during your pet’s examination so that you can make the best choice for your pet.
General Surgery
All veterinarians are trained in general surgery.
