Spaying & Neutering

Spaying or neutering your cat or dog helps prevent unplanned litters, protects your pet against various illnesses, and can help prevent unwanted behaviours.

These common surgical procedures are performed under general anesthesia at our Arnprior animal clinic.

Parasite Prevention

Parasites can pose a serious threat to the health and longevity of your cat or dog, and in some cases can even be transmitted to other pets or people living in your household.

Our parasite prevention products can help protect your dog or cat from many common parasites, including fleas, ticks, ear mites, heartworms, and more.

Microchipping

Microchipping for dogs and cats is a permanent form of identification that can help to increase the odds of your furry friend being returned to you if they become lost.

We can place a tiny microchip under your pet's skin during their first wellness checkup or their spay or neuter surgery. The process is virtually painless and your furry friend will not feel the microchip once it is in place.
