However, unlike humans who show symptoms like sneezing, coughing, and itchy eyes, pets usually exhibit allergic reactions through their skin. This can lead to allergies in pets often being overlooked or misdiagnosed as other illnesses.

Spay &amp; Neuter: Caring for Your Pet and Preventing Unplanned Litters Spaying and neutering are among the most common—and most important—procedures we offer for dogs and cats. These safe, routine surgeries help prevent unwanted pregnancies while supporting your pet’s long-term health and behavior.Whether you’ve just adopted a young puppy or kitten, or you're considering the procedure for an adult pet, spay and neuter services play a key role in responsible pet care.What Is Spaying or Neutering?<ul><li>Spaying refers to the surgical removal of the ovaries and uterus in female pets.</li><li>Neutering (also called castration) refers to the removal of the testicles in male pets.</li></ul>Both procedures are performed under general anesthesia and are typically completed in a single day.
