Affordable Care for Your Dog

SpayToday recommends that any patient going under anesthesia have pre-surgery blood work performed to assess the health of your pet. We understand that this is not an option for all owners so it is not required. SpayToday does not offer blood work services at this time so it would need to be completed by a full service veterinary hospital. If your pet has blood work performed elsewhere, please send a copy to [email protected] for our doctor to review or bring a paper copy on the day of your appointment.

We do not perform surgery on animals with a history of seizures, heart murmurs, or other conditions that could affect anesthesia or healing.  Procedures on pregnant and obese animals are at doctor’s discretion. Dogs must be a minimum of 2 pounds and 2 months old to qualify for surgery. We do not perform surgery on dogs over the age of eight years old.

SpayToday performs very limited surgical procedures in addition to spay/neuter. All additional procedures are at the attending vet’s discretion. Examples of added services are listed below. If you are interested in any of these procedures as described, please email [email protected] to discuss any of the following add-on procedures  to your pets surgery package:

• Reducible Umbilical Hernia: Only umbilical (bellybutton) hernias which are reducible (tissue moves in and out of the abdomen) are repaired at SpayToday.  Non-reducible hernias do not pose a medical threat to patients because the hernia (hole) that allowed the tissue to poke out is mostly healed. The added risk of extended anesthesia time to repair a non-reducible hernia is not appropriate with our current anesthetic protocols.

• Non-attached Rear Dewclaws: Small, unattached (floppy) rear dewclaws can easily be removed here at SpayToday, however large dewclaws (attached or unattached) are a full digit amputation surgery. This type of surgery should be performed by a full service vet due to the extended anesthesia time. Double dewclaws are normal anatomy for breeds such as Great Pyrenees, some shepherds, and some St. Bernards, as well as mix breeds. SpayToday does not remove these types of dewclaws. With regular nail trims it is highly unlikely that attached or large rear dewclaws will cause a medical problem

• Deciduous (baby) Canine Tooth Extraction: While we do not recommend having tooth extractions performed at SpayToday because we are unable to perform dental x-rays, some of our doctors will perform these extractions as long as the pet’s owner is aware of the risks associated with doing extractions without taking x-rays. Risk that may occur are partial roots remaining in dogs mouth and potentially damaging adult teeth as the ascend.
  
  Retained baby teeth can cause the adult teeth to be pushed slightly out of place – if the baby tooth is removed around 6-7 months of age, that displacement may not occur but after that time there is no immediate medical benefit to extraction and the oral surgery should be performed by a full service vet in combination with a dental cleaning to remove tartar that will already have accumulated
