LESS PAIN

FASTER RECOVERY

AND NO CONE OF SHAME

Give your pet the same minimally invasive technology used in human medicine. The Gold Standard for spaying is now available at your local clinic.

THE DIFFERENCE IS

RECOVERY

For decades, a traditional spay meant a large incision, tearing of the ovarian ligament, weeks of strict crate rest, pain medication, the "cone of shame," and stress for both you and your pet.

But veterinary medicine has evolved. You wouldn't accept open surgery for yourself if laparoscopic was an option. Why accept it for your pet?

What is a

Laparoscopic SPAY?

sing a high-definition camera and specialized instruments, we perform laparoscopic surgery through a single small incision, usually about 1 cm in length. This minimally invasive approach allows us to visualize organs clearly on a monitor and treat tissue with precision, resulting in less pain, minimal trauma, and faster recovery compared to traditional surgery.

PROTECTING LARGE BREEDS FROM ‘BLOAT’

For Great Danes, Shepherds, and other large breeds, Gastric Dilatation and Volvulus (GDV)—or "Bloat"—is a deadly nightmare. The stomach twists, cutting off blood supply.


The Fix:

We perform a Laparoscopic Gastropexy (Stomach Tack). We permanently attach the stomach to the abdominal wall so it cannot twist. We can do this at the same time as the spay, through the same tiny ports.


It is the single best investment you can make for a large breed dog's future.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • IS IT MORE EXPENSIVE?

    Yes, the equipment is advanced (similar to human hospitals), so the cost is higher than a traditional spay. However, many owners find the value in a faster, pain-free recovery is worth the investment.

  • CAN MY REGULAR VET DO THIS?

    Most general practices do not have this specialized tower. That is why Dr. Hodges brings the equipment to them.

  • IS MY DOG TOO SMALL/BIG?

    We can perform this on dogs from 5kg to 80kg+.
