Why Choose The Hometown Veterinarian in Marshalltown, Iowa for Dog Spay and Neuter?

Always ask questions and become familiar with the facility.

What You Can Expect When Having Your Dog Spayed or Neutered at The Hometown Veterinarian:
Laser Surgery for Reduced Pain and Faster Recovery
Every dog spay and neuter procedure at The Hometown Veterinarian uses CO2 laser surgery. This method enables precise incisions with minimal bleeding, reducing pain and accelerating recovery compared to traditional scalpel surgery still used at some facilities. Laser surgery offers superior comfort and well-being for your dog.
Pre-Surgical Bloodwork for Every Dog
We conduct pre-anesthetic bloodwork on all pets to confirm they are in optimal health for surgery. This vital step helps identify any underlying conditions that could impact anesthesia or surgical outcomes, adding an extra layer of safety often missed in other clinics.
Safe and Controlled Gas Anesthesia
We use gas anesthesia for all dog spay and neuter procedures, providing a safer and more controlled experience than injection-only methods. This allows us to adjust sedation levels throughout the procedure, ensuring that your dog remains comfortable and stable.
Dedicated Monitoring by a Surgical Assistant and Electronic Equipment
During the procedure, your dog’s vital signs—including heart rate, respiration, and blood oxygen levels—are continuously monitored by both a dedicated surgical assistant and advanced electronic monitors. This dual-monitoring system guarantees your dog’s safety and allows for immediate response to any changes.
IV Fluids for Optimal Stability
Every dog undergoing surgery receives IV fluids to maintain hydration and blood pressure, as well as to facilitate the efficient delivery of medications. IV support is essential for a safe surgical experience and promotes a faster recovery—a service that not all facilities provide.
Strict Sterility Protocols
At The Hometown Veterinarian, we use a fresh, sterile pack of surgical instruments for each patient to prevent infection. In some clinics, instruments may be reused between pets, increasing the risk of contamination. We adhere to the highest aseptic standards to protect your dog’s health.
Comprehensive Pain Management and Post-Surgical Therapy Laser
Pain management is integral to our spay and neuter services. Our multi-modal approach includes medications, local anesthetics, and therapy laser treatments. After surgery, our therapy laser minimizes pain, reduces swelling, and accelerates healing, providing your pet with the comfort they deserve.
Quick Recovery with Therapy Laser Treatments
Our laser surgery provides precise, minimally invasive incisions that reduce pain and bleeding. Combined with post-operative laser therapy, this approach speeds healing by reducing swelling and discomfort, allowing your dog to recover faster.
