NH Animal Population Control

Our hospital is equipped to handle most situations requiring surgery.  Drs Seibel and Haley perform surgery daily, and Dr. Geoffrey Clark ACVS, a board certified veterinary surgeon, is available to handle more difficult surgical cases as needed.  We have modern anesthetic equipment which includes sevoflurane gas anesthesia as well as pulse oximeters to monitor our patients during anesthesia.

Pre-anesthetic blood work is recommended, and provided by our laboratory.

We participate in the NH Animal Population Control Program, a program developed in conjunction with the NH Humane Federation.  Animals adopted from NH shelters, and from homes with very limited income, are spayed and neutered at a reduced cost to the owner.  The Kindness Animal Hospital, and other participating hospitals, donates 20% of the usual surgical fee to help keep this program viable.  For more information on this program, click here.
