Spaying and neutering do far more than prevent litters. They can lower the risk of serious conditions like uterine infections and certain cancers, and they can reduce roaming and marking.

Our guide covers timing, surgery day, and recovery.

Is your pet vomiting, losing weight, or just not acting like themselves?

Ultrasound lets your vet see inside your pet’s body in real time: painless, non-invasive, and no radiation. Learn what it can detect and what to expect.

The best time to check your pet's health isn't always when something seems wrong.

Dogs and cats can conceal illness remarkably well. Routine wellness exams and appropriate laboratory testing can help identify changes before noticeable symptoms develop.

Lab work may be recommended for:

Annual wellness exams
Senior pets who need closer monitoring
Bloodwork before surgery or dental procedures
Changes in appetite, thirst, weight, or energy
Pets taking long-term medication

Your veterinarian can recommend the right tests based on your pet's age, medical history, and individual needs.

A little preventive care today can help you make more informed decisions about their health tomorrow.

Your pet can't tell you what's wrong. Lab tests can help uncover the clues.

Even when your pet looks healthy, important changes may be happening beneath the surface.

Veterinary laboratory testing can help assess:

Blood: Red and white blood cells, anemia, infection, and more
Blood chemistry: Kidney and liver function, blood sugar, and electrolytes
Urine: Kidney function and signs of urinary problems
F***l samples: Intestinal parasites that may be invisible to the naked eye

At Grove Center Veterinary Hospital, on-site diagnostics can help us investigate health concerns efficiently and guide the next steps in your pet's care.

Don't wait for obvious symptoms to ask about preventive testing.

Eating more but still losing weight? Don't ignore the signs.

Hyperthyroidism is a common hormonal condition in older cats that can affect their heart, kidneys, and overall health.

Watch for:
1. Weight loss despite a normal or increased appetite
2. Increased thirst and urination
3. Restlessness or loud nighttime yowling
4. Vomiting or diarrhea

The good news? With early diagnosis and appropriate treatment, many cats can continue to enjoy a comfortable life.

Not all bleeding can wait.

Treat it as an emergency if you see:
1. Blood spurting, pouring, or soaking through a bandage within minutes
2. Bleeding that doesn’t stop after 10 minutes of firm pressure
3. Pale, white or grey gums
4. Weakness, collapse, or fast breathing
5. A hard, swollen belly after trauma
6. Blood from the nose, mouth or re**um with no clear cause
7. Suspected rat poison

Internal bleeding often shows no blood at all. If your dog is quiet, cold or just “off” after an accident, get them seen the same day.

Well-meaning mistakes can make things worse.

Please don’t:
1. Use hydrogen peroxide or alcohol on wounds
2. Give human painkillers like ibuprofen or paracetamol (toxic to dogs)
3. Pull out anything stuck in the body
4. Lift the bandage to check the wound
5. Use a tourniquet, except as a last resort for life-threatening limb bleeding

Keep a pet first aid kit ready:
🩹 Gauze and self-adhesive wrap
🧂 Styptic powder (for bleeding nails)
💧 Sterile saline
📞 Your vet’s number and the nearest emergency clinic

Bleeding nail with no styptic powder? Cornstarch or flour pressed firmly on the tip works too.

Blood on your dog is terrifying. Your first few minutes matter, so here’s the calm version.

1. Stay calm (a soft muzzle can help, but never if your dog is vomiting or struggling to breathe)
2. Press firmly for 5-10 minutes without peeking
3. Add layers if it soaks through
4. Wrap snugly, and raise the limb if you can
5. Call your vet
