  5. At what age can I have my pet spayed or neutered?

    Spaying or neutering is important and can be performed anywhere from approximately 6 months of age on, depending on your pet's species, breed and size. Your pet will be thoroughly examined prior to any surgical procedure to help determine whether your pet is healthy enough to undergo anesthesia and surgery and also to determine the optimal age at which to perform the necessary procedure. Pre-anesthetic bloodwork will be completed prior to anesthesia and surgery to further evaluate your pet's health.

  6. What is the pre-anesthetic bloodwork?

    This is a set of blood tests that are run prior to surgery. These tests look at the organ function and blood counts of your pet. The pre-anesthetic bloodwork is performed to help assure safety during surgery and the ability to heal afterward.

  7. How long do the sutures stay in after my pet's surgery?
     
    Sutures need to be removed 14 days following surgery, unless otherwise specified by the veterinary team.

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

    No, there is no health advantage to allowing your pet deliver a litter of puppies or kittens. Conversely, there are plenty of advantages to having your pet spayed or neutered. In females, these advantages include: decreased chance of developing breast cancer later in life, decreased chance of developing cystic ovaries and serious uterine infections later in life,  and decreased numbers of unwanted puppies and kittens. In males, advantages include: decreased desire to roam the neighborhood, decreased incidence of prostate cancer later in life, assistance in preventing urine spraying and territory marking, and decreased numbers of unwanted puppies and kittens.

  9. Do you board pets?

    No, because we are mobile, there is no stationary facility associated with our practice.
