February is Spay/Neuter Month!!

 February is Spay/Neuter Month!

Have you been to a shelter lately? It is awful, there are so many animals with no homes, no one to love them, or provide for them. Still there are animals around here that have not been spayed or neutered. It is beneficial to prevent a litter so that less animals are homeless, sent to shelters, or being euthanized. Along with over population spaying and neuter can help your pet live longer and happier. Spaying before a female’s first heat cycle, can all but eliminate the chance of breast cancer. Neutering a male can prevent prostate problems and testicular cancer; prevent spraying, fighting with other males, and running away to find a female in heat. So, I am sure you are wondering at what age can kittens and puppies be spayed or neutered. Well the answer is as young as 12 weeks.

 In February every year we offer a discount on spaying and neutering. For your pet’s safety, we require a veterinary exam, up-to-date vaccination record, and a recent heartworm test and fecal cytology before scheduling any surgeries. For pricing and more information about scheduling your pet’s to be spayed and/or neutered call our office at (336) 591-8250.

Rabies in Northern Part of County

Just a quick notice for those of you in Lawsonville, Sandy Ridge areas.
A pony was diagnosed with Rabies in Patrick co. right at the NC/Stokes line.
Please remember that horses and cattle are the two species of animals that can expose more humans to rabies than any other species.
We normally assume that they have choke, or something in their mouths, or....
Just remember: if any of your livestock is acting unusual, has any wounds on it, take the precaution of ensuring that it gets its RABIES vaccination.
The cost is a lot less than having to deal with Post exposure rabies vaccinations and quarrantining your remaining livestock.

Call us if questions: 591-8250 (336)
