Our small animal theriogenology team is specialized in veterinary reproductive medicine and surgery. As one of just a handful of veterinary facilities in the Pacific Northwest that specializes in the field, we are dedicated to improving dogs and cats genetics by preserving their breed standard and their overall general health. Genetic counseling and conscious breeding management are also important services we provide. In addition, our team treats reproductive system disorders like vaginitis, prostatic disorders, pyometra, dystocia, and mammary disorders.
