Surgical Services and Specialty Services

Routine Surgeries

Ovariohysterectomy We recommend that you spay your female pet before her first heat. Research shows that early neutering reduces the risk of mammary cancer as well as other serious health problems later in life. 

Castration We recommend that you have your male pet neutered at 6 months of age.  This reduces the risk of prostate disease later in life. It also reduces or eliminates the risk of several other health and behavioral issues.

Other Surgery We are able to perform a variety of soft tissue and orthopedic surgeries. The veterinarian will discuss these procedures with you when they become necessary. We also work with several surgical specialists in Maine should the need for a referral arise.

Specialty Services

Ultrasound  Our facility is equipped with a state of the art ultrasound machine. With this technology, we can better evaluate the heart and abdomen of your pet.
