To help us determine the health status of your pet and find any potential problems we will check the following: obtain a temperature, pulse and respiratory rate. Perform eye and retina scan, external ear check and otoscopic exam of the ear canals. Examination of the mouth, gums, gingiva, teeth, tongue and throat. Perform a lymph node palpation. Check skin, hair and coat. Perform gender specific examination. Abdominal palpation to detect size, shape and texture of abdominal organs. Auscultation of the heart and lungs and musculoskeletal palpation and range of motion assessment.
A brief appointment that does not require a physical exam can be done by the technician. Determined case by case basis.

Our spay/neuter packages are provided as a service to the community to help alleviate the pet overpopulation problem, and to be sure all pet owners have access to an affordable spay and neuter option. These packages are designed to provide a significant value as compared to the cost of other surgeries. This page has been prepared to ensure participants understand how the program works and what is included so there are no misunderstandings.
We are a full service for-profit animal hospital. Our hospital does not receive any grants or outside financing to perform these procedures at these low fees. We use very high quality surgery and anesthesia protocols to ensure the best outcomes. Unlike non-profit spay neuter clinics we can provide a wider range of services that your pet may need and we are available for follow up care for your pet.
