Surgery
Spay/Neuter
Spaying or neutering your pet improves their overall health by reducing or eliminating the risk of various diseases and cancers. Pets who are spayed/neutered tend to wander less, reducing their chances at being hit by a car or becoming lost. Pets that are not spayed or neutered can be more animal-aggressive causing fight-related injuries and/or diseases spread through bite wounds
Declaw
If you plan to declaw your cat, we commonly perform this surgery when they are spayed/neutered. It may also be done independently. This procedure is easier on your kitty if done while they are young
Other surgeries:
- Wound repair
- Foreign object removals
- Amputations
- Hernia repair
- And more!
