Spay, Neuter & Wellness Milestones for The Hammocks Puppies & Kittens
Beyond the first few visits, your new puppy or kitten will hit several important health milestones in their first year. One of the most significant is spay or neuter surgery. For The Hammocks families, having this procedure available at the same practice your pet already knows — with the doctors they trust — makes the experience significantly less stressful. Our spay and neuter services are performed in-house with full anesthesia monitoring and our Fear Free approach throughout recovery.
