Spay/Neuter Procedure

The Spay/Neuter Procedure is a simple and straightforward operation that has a profound impact on the health of your pet. Spaying (female) or neutering (male) your pet prevents them from reproducing, which in turn helps to control the homeless pet population. This routine procedure also eliminates the risk of testicular and ovarian cancer, and greatly reduces the likelihood of other hormone-related cancers. spaying before the first heat also greatly reduces the risk of mammary cancer later in life.

In addition to the health benefits, spaying or neutering will improve your pet's behavior. Intact males are much more likely to mark their territory with urine, and may become aggressive toward other animals. Females in heat can be extremely vocal, and are also more likely to roam, which puts them at risk for injury or disease. Spaying or neutering will not change your pet's basic personality, but will help to make them happier and more content.

Soft Tissue Surgery

ACL Reconstruction

The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is one of the main stabilizing ligaments in a dog's knee. It prevents the thighbone from sliding backward and the shinbone from sliding forward. A torn ACL is a common injury in dogs, particularly those that are active or participate in sports.

There are several different surgical options for repairing a torn ACL, but the most common and effective procedure is ACL reconstruction. This involves replacing the damaged ligament with a piece of healthy tissue, typically from another part of the dog's body. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia and usually takes about two hours.
