Nothing like a nice relaxing wakeup after surgery. These critters enjoyed their lounge day with us 🙂

Getting your Cat or Dog spayed or neutered is not just about lowering the population of stray animals. It's also about keeping your beloved pets healthy.
Leaving your pets intact can lead to health problems and the simple truth is spaying and neutering can alleviate, not just immediate health concerns but long term issues as well.

If you would like to schedule an appointment. Contact us via phone or email or even through our website. :)
