What age can my pet be spayed or neutered?
Pets can be spayed or neutered at any time after 4-5 months of age. We recommend for most pets to have this surgery after their vaccine series as a puppy or kitten at 4-6 months of age. There are some pets which the doctor may recommend to do at a later age of 6-9 months.
What age does my pet need to start vaccines?
Both kittens and puppies should start vaccinations between 6-8 weeks of age. They should have a total of 3-4 vaccines in a series. Their final vaccines are given around 14-16 weeks of age. Our veterinarians and staff will help determine what vaccines will be recommended for your pets situation.
Do pets need general anesthesia for dental cleaning?
Anesthesia is required to properly scale and clean your pet’s teeth. Each tooth is also inspected for abscesses or mobility to see if they need to be removed. Healthy teeth are important in a pet’s overall general health.
