After six months of age, a test needs to be performed before starting dogs on preventives. See also Heartworm Disease. Both male and female dogs can be neutered anytime after 4 months of age. Females can be spayed even if they are in heat or pregnant, although there is a slight additional fee for females in these conditions. Surgeries are scheduled for Monday through Thursday.
Most dogs are slightly sleepy the evening of surgery but usually no special care is needed.
We will give a detailed aftercare sheet to go home that should help ease any anxiety.
