SURGERY
The Animal Health Care Center provides routine surgical services such as spaying and neutering as well as other abdominal surgeries, ear trims, some orthopedic procedures and removal of masses. If a procedure is too complicated or if you would prefer a board certified surgeon, we are happy to refer to one of the three surgeons in our area.
The Animal Health Care Center provides a discount for spaying and neutering twice yearly in February and September. |
