Pet Spaying

Spaying your pet offers many important benefits—not only does it prevent unwanted pregnancies, but it also helps your dog or cat live a longer, healthier life.

By spaying your female pet, you’re protecting her from serious health risks, including uterine infections, reproductive diseases, and several types of cancer. You’ll also avoid the challenges that come with heat cycles—like the mess often seen in female dogs or the restless pacing and loud vocalizing common in female cats. Plus, spaying plays a vital role in reducing pet overpopulation, helping keep more animals out of shelters and finding homes.

Spaying

Spaying is a surgical procedure that involves removing the ovaries and uterus, and it’s performed under general anesthesia. At False River Veterinary Clinic, we follow the highest standards for anesthesia and patient monitoring to ensure your pet’s safety every step of the way. (You can learn more about our safety protocols by visiting our Anesthesia and Patient Monitoring page.)

Ready to schedule your pet’s spay procedure or have questions about the process? Give us a call or stop by the clinic. If you’re unsure whether spaying is the right decision for your pet, we’re happy to talk through your concerns and help you make the best choice for your furry family member.

Pet Neutering

Neutering your pet is one of the best choices you can make for his health and happiness. This simple procedure prevents male pets from reproducing and can help your dog or cat live a longer, healthier life.

Neutering greatly reduces the risk of serious health issues like prostate problems, testicular cancer, and sexually transmitted diseases. It can also curb unwanted behaviors such as roaming, fighting, humping, and spraying—making life more peaceful for both you and your pet. Plus, neutering plays an important role in helping control the dog and cat overpopulation problem, keeping more animals out of shelters and finding them loving homes instead.

Neutering is a surgical procedure that involves removing the testicles and is performed under general anesthesia. At False River Veterinary Clinic, we take every precaution to keep your pet safe, carefully monitoring his vital signs throughout the procedure. (Learn more about our Anesthesia and Patient Monitoring protocols for additional peace of mind.)

If you’re ready to schedule your pet’s neuter appointment or if you have questions about the procedure, give us a call or visit the clinic. If you’re unsure about whether neutering is right for your pet, we’re happy to talk with you and help you make the best decision for your furry family member.

Pet Soft Tissue Surgery

At False River Veterinary Clinic, we offer a wide range of soft tissue surgeries to help improve and protect your pet’s health. Soft tissue surgeries involve procedures that don’t involve bones and can address a variety of medical concerns.

One of the most common soft tissue surgeries we perform is the removal of masses or lumps. While many of these growths are benign (noncancerous), some can be more serious. Early removal and proper testing are important for ensuring the best outcome, especially if the mass turns out to be cancerous.

We also perform surgeries to treat eye conditions. If your pet is experiencing excessive tearing or signs of eye infection, surgery can sometimes speed up corneal healing and reduce scarring, preserving your pet’s vision. In some cases, abnormal eyelashes can cause corneal damage; surgical correction improves comfort, prevents long-term damage, and protects your pet’s eyesight.

Other soft tissue procedures we offer include cystotomies (removal of bladder stones). Every surgery is performed with the highest level of care, using modern techniques and strict safety protocols to ensure the best results.

If you have questions about soft tissue surgery or want to learn more about how it could benefit your pet, please contact our team. We’re here to support your pet’s health every step of the way.

Pet Dental Care with Radiography

At False River Veterinary Clinic, we take your pet’s dental health seriously. That’s why we include advanced dental radiography (X-rays) as part of our comprehensive dental care services. Dental radiographs allow us to see below the gumline—where nearly 60% of dental disease hides—so we can detect issues like tooth root infections, bone loss, fractures, and hidden tumors that aren’t visible during a routine oral exam.

By using dental X-rays, we can diagnose problems early, treat them more accurately, and help protect your pet’s overall health. Just like in people, untreated dental disease in pets can lead to pain, tooth loss, and infections that may even affect vital organs. Our team is committed to providing thorough, gentle cleanings and treatments to keep your pet’s smile healthy and bright.
