Trusted Surgical Care for Every Pet
At Dwight Veterinary Clinic, we are experienced in general and specialized surgical procedures. Our medical team will closely monitor anesthesia and cardiovascular functioning from pre-surgical procedure until your pet is alert in recovery. To ensure your pet’s safety, we perform an exam and pre- surgical bloodwork to determine if your pet can handle anesthesia and surgery.
Spay and Neuter Procedure
Spay and neuter is a minor and safe procedure that benefits both you and your pet. At Dwight Veterinary Clinic, we believe each animal is an individual deserving of a unique, clinical decision. We consider factors such as age, size, breed, and lifestyle.
This procedure promotes a longer and healthier life. Meanwhile, you will experience far less challenges associated with natural sexual instinct, unwanted pregnancy, and heat periods. The veterinarians at Dwight Veterinary Clinic are experts in spay-neuter procedure and ensure a safe and comfortable procedure from beginning to end.

Tumor & Growth Removal
Lumps and bumps are common in older pets, but can appear at any age. Motion may be restricted depending upon the location of the growth. If it continues to grow, removal becomes increasingly more difficult, especially in areas such as the throat or limbs. If you find a lump or bump on your pet that is rapidly growing or changing, let us know immediately.
Growths can be malignant or benign. For your pet’s safety, we always recommend surgical removal to prevent the mass from growing or spreading to other areas of the body.
Hernia Repair
Hernia repair is a very minor procedure, especially when addressed early. If a hernia is discovered, we strongly recommend surgical treatment to prevent enlargement and subsequent complications. Weight gain, exercise, pregnancy, and trauma commonly cause a hernia to become enlarged. If an enlarged hernia is discovered, your pet needs immediate medical attention to protect your pet from infection, resection of dead tissues, strangulation, and possibly death.
