Bloat is a sudden, life-threatening twist of the stomach that can take a beloved pet within hours. For at-risk breeds like Great Danes, Labradors, and Boxers, a preventive gastropexy can save their life -and give you lasting peace of mind.We perform this protective procedure laparoscopically through small incisions, often combining it with a spay in a single, gentle session. Less pain, faster recovery, and the comfort of knowing you have done everything possible to keep them safe.
