Why should you spay/neuter your pet? Pet's health and longevity - Sterilization of your pets will increase their chance of a longer and healthier life. Spayed/Neutered animals have a very low to no risk of developing a disease such as mammary gland tumors/cancer, prostate cancer, perianal tumors, pyometria, and uterine, ovarian, and testicular cancers. Curb unwanted behavior - Spayed or neutered are typically less aggressive since their instinct to mate has been eliminated. Many unwanted behaviors such as fighting, roaming, spraying, and crying will go away after surgery, and most pets become even more affectionate to their owners. Reduce animal companion population - There has been a surplus of companion animals that are forced to be euthanized and unwanted pets that usually became strays or end up in a shelter. Spay and neutering control overpopulation. Cut-cost - A healthy pet is a happy pet and saves pet owners a lot of money. Start your regular Vet check-ups today. Every Wednesday, Laguna Pet Care Center holds low-cost spay and neuter clinics for cats and dogs. The clinic can offer favorable pricing as we generally do a high volume of dogs/cats in a day and are very experienced in surgical procedures. Call us and book an appointment!

Congratulations! You are a new fur parent! Bringing a pet to your home is a responsibility. Your pet will be a new member of your growing family, and as a puppy or kitten, it will need more of your time, love, and care. New pet? So what now? Here is a list of the first things you need to do: 1. Take to a vet for a wellness exam – One of the best ways to keep your new pet in top health is with regular check-ups and routines. Knowing your pet's overall wellness with the help of our Vets helps them get the right nutrition, behavior, exercise, and all the best tips for a healthy lifestyle. Talk to our Vets! 2. Do get core vaccines - The immunities passed on to a young animal by its mother last only a few weeks. Getting the series of core vaccines for your pet to protect them against disease ensures your pets will grow into happy and healthy adults. Veterinarians recommend immunizing puppies and kittens at 6 to 8 weeks of age. 3.Have your pet MICROCHIP - Veterinarians encourage pet parents to make sure pets are microchipped and have identification tags. Getting identified helps a lot of fur parents that lost their pets. 4.Have your PET LICENSE – Most municipalities require pet licenses around the time of your puppy or kitten’s first rabies vaccination. Make a habit of keeping their information up to date! 5. Socializing your pet – Every household member is encouraged to spend time with their new furry friends. Make time for playing, feeding, and grooming. Give your pet a chance to become familiar with many sounds and activities in your home like doorbells, mail carriers, TV, etc. One other key to healthy socialization is learning to be alone. Train your pet to accept time in their crate or gated area by taking a walk or being in a room without them. Talk to our Vet's today!

Your pet can’t take care of their dental health as you can. Like us Humans, proper dental care prevents oral-related problems and ensures overall health. It’s important to be mindful of potential issues early on because our pets won’t show signs of pain until the issue has progressed for some time. At Laguna Pet Care Center, we take care of your pet's oral health.

The holiday season is here! Keep your pets safe, happy, and healthy during this festive season.
