Frequently asked questions

Why should I spay/neuter my pet?

Spaying and neutering pets lead to longer, healthier lives and help reduce pet overpopulation.

Health benefits: Prevents serious diseases like uterine infections, ovarian and breast cancer in females, and testicular and prostate issues in males.
Behavioral benefits: Eliminates heat cycles and related behaviors in females; reduces spraying, odor, roaming, and aggression in males; often results in calmer, friendlier pets.
Early sterilization: Safe for healthy kittens and puppies as young as 8 weeks, with faster recovery and less stress.
Social and community benefits: Spayed/neutered pets get along better with others and help prevent the birth of unwanted litters, keeping pets out of shelters.

My pet is sick. What will it cost to have them checked out?

The cost of the initial exam is $45, but additional diagnostic tests and treatment will likely be necessary. It is hard to predict what the pet will need until we examine them.

PRICING AND SERVICES

Do you hospitalize animals?

We do not have the staff to provide 24-hour supervision for pets, so we do not hospitalize animals. Should that level of care be necessary, we recommend a 24-hour emergency clinic.
