Spay/Neuters
Spaying is the surgical removal of internal reproductive organs (both ovaries
and uterus).
Neuter is the surgical removal of male reproductive organs (testicles).
The best way to prevent unnecessary breeding is spaying or neutering which will
help fighting pet’s overpopulation.
Early spaying prevents female dogs and cats from ovarian, uterine, and mammary diseases.
Neutering prevent male dogs or cats from developing prostatic problem, or neoplasia.
Dogs and cats spaying or neutering reduces the incidence of some behaviors problem
like marking the house with urine, roaming around, and fighting.
Veterinary Dentistry
Dental disease is a common problem for dogs and cats especially as they are getting
older. Bad breath (halitosis) is one of the most common clinical presentations of
dental disease. If your pet has a painful mouth is can lead to loss of appetite,

Pain prevention and control
Pets suffer from pain just like human beings do. Sometimes it is hard for them to
show us how much pain they are in or where it hurts. We do not want your pet to
be in any pain and we try to do all we can to prevent and control it. read more
Fecal Examination
We strongly recommend checking your pet’s fecal samples annually for indoor pets,
and every six months for outdoor pets.
A fecal flotation is a test performed in-house at HRAH as a way of diagnosing internal
parasitism in your pet. The microscope slide is examined thoroughly for the presence
of different parasitic organisms (eggs, oocysts and worm larvae).
Our veterinary technician will collect stool sample from your dog or cat during
the consult, using fecal collection loop. Alternatively, you, as the owner, can
assist to get a diagnosis by bringing your pet's fresh stool sample into the hospital
for fecal flotation.
Deworming
Being infected with internal parasites your pet can suffer from vomiting and/or
diarrhea, weight loss, poor hair coat. Some of the parasites can be transmitted
from your pet to the owner so it is strongly recommended to get your pet regularly
checked for internal parasites, and treated as needed.

Boarding
We offer boarding for dogs and cats. Boarding prices vary by the size of the pet
and is charged by how many nights the pet stays with us. All boarding animals need
to be up to date on vaccines and a current fecal sample. It is preferable that you
bring your own food so your pet’s diet does not get changed. Any blankets or toys
are allowed as long as your pet does not have a history of ingesting toys, etc.
We do go by appointment which we prefer to be made a few days to a week in advance
if not sooner. The pet must be picked up on the day written down upon drop off unless
notice is given.
Flea control and prevention.
Flea infestation can cause a lot of problems for your pet and actually to owners
as well. Adult fleas bite pets and humans causing itching and in some pets severe
allergic dermatitis. Your pet will scratch and bite itself which can cause development
of bacterial skin infection. read more

of your pet. read more
