Spay/Neuter Visit

Benefits of Spaying a female dog: ·  

• Prevention of heat or estrus. When in heat, the female experiences an urge to escape in order to find a mate. This unwanted and dangerous behavior is eliminated.

• Elimination of the hormone fluctuations that cause false pregnancy following the heat cycle.

• Prevention of uterine infection known as pyometra.

• Prevention of breast cancer. Dogs spayed before their first heat have less than 0.5% chance of developing breast cancer.

• Elimination of the risk of uterine and ovarian cancer.

• Spayed dogs generally live longer lives than those that are unspayed.

• Reduces the likelihood of dogs having separation anxiety or fearful elimination.

Benefits of Neutering your male dog include:

• Reduces the risk of benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate that comes with age) and prostatitis (prostate infection).

• Reduces the risk of hormone-related diseases such as perianal adenoma (benign tumor around the anus)

• Eliminates the risk of testicular cancer, the second most common cancer in intact (unneutered) dogs.

• Reduces certain types of aggression

• Removes sexual urges, which usually decreases roaming behaviors

• Reduces the likelihood of separation anxiety or fearful elimination

     

dental care

Like humans, dogs require routine teeth cleanings to avoid dental issues and maintain good oral health

wellness labs

Wellness labs for pets are valuable because they enable early detection of diseases, establish a health baseline for your pet, and allow for monitoring health trends over time, which can lead to more effective and timely treatment. These screening tests can help avoid unexpected emergencies and potentially extend your pet's life by identifying problems before they become serious.
