Spaying and Neutering is vitally important to your pet's health

Dogs prior to their first heat cycle have a very low risk, estimated at 0.5%, of developing in their lifetime. The risk of developing mammary tumors has been estimated to increase to 8% in female dogs spayed after their first heat cycle and to 26% in dogs spayed any time after their second cycle.

The prostate under the influence of testosterone is also predisposed to infection. This is an extremely painful and sometime life-threatening condition which is not likely to resolve without neutering and often invasive surgery.

If you need to have your pet /neutered, please call at 540-371-7729. The hospital offers spay/neuter packages and it also offers laser surgery.
