Services
Spay/Neuter for Cats and Dogs
Our core service provides surgical sterilization for cats and dogs using modern anesthetic protocols and pain management. Procedures include abdominal spays for females and castration for males, with post-operative care instructions provided. We serve pet owners, rescue groups, and shelters across central North Carolina. All surgeries include pre-anesthetic evaluation and recovery monitoring.
Vaccinations
We offer essential vaccines including rabies, DHPP for dogs, and FVRCP for cats. Our vaccination clinics provide protection against parvovirus, distemper, panleukopenia, and other preventable diseases. Services include documentation for legal compliance and health records. We participate in Petco Love's vaccine initiative to expand community access.
Wellness Exams
Drop-off wellness appointments include physical examinations, parasite testing, and preventive care recommendations. Our veterinarians assess heartworm status, flea/tick exposure, and overall health indicators. Services are available for routine care but not acute medical issues. Appointments require advance payment and pre-surgical clearance.
Microchipping
Permanent pet identification through subcutaneous microchip implantation. Each chip provides lifetime registration in national databases for lost pet recovery. We complete initial registration with owner information and recommend updating details through the chip provider. The service includes placement verification and documentation.
Mobile Surgical Services
Our Spay Shuttle mobile unit delivers surgical services to underserved communities. The fully equipped vehicle performs sterilizations at no cost through grant funding in Robeson County. We conduct remote vaccination clinics and outreach programs to expand access for low-income pet owners and rescue organizations.
