History

Dr. Cobb graduated from The University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine in 1989 and opened an equine practice with a focus on sports medicine.  In 2001, she closed her practice to concentrate on shelter issues.  Since that time she has performed in excess of 20,000 alters.

Dr. Cobb formed Ace of Spays, LLC in 2005 in order to offer a high quality spay/neuter clinic alternative.  Dr. Cobb has always insisted on using quality anesthetic agents, surgical supplies and clinic procedures.  Each pet has always received pain-relief medication and each pet has always been examined prior to surgery.  Dr. Cobb hired a caring and experienced support staff.  Care is always taken to minimize lines and to treat clients with the respect they deserve.  The goal remains to provide comfortable care for both clients and pets.

From 2005 to 2007 clinics were held on weekends at other veterinary facilities.  In 2008, Ace of Spays moved to a permanent location in Hainesport.  Gold service spay/neuter appointments were added to the offerings.  Routine and alternative veterinary care is also offered on a regular basis at this location.  Dr. Weintrub, formerly from Marlton Animal Hospital and Countryside Animal Hospital, is now practicing at Ace of Spays.  She brings many years of experience combining conventional and alternative therapies.  Both veterinarians are trained in the use of veterinary acupuncture.  Dr. Weintrub is also trained in chiropractic, and Chinese herbology.  Sports medicine is a growing part of the practice.

Ace of Spays remains true to their mission of providing quality care at affordable prices by continuing to offer spay/neuter clinics three times weekly.

Quality Care at Affordable Prices

At Ace of Spays Silver Service Clinics, surgeries are performed by a highly-experienced, New Jersey licensed veterinarian using the same surgical techniques, quality anesthetic and pain relief agents and sterile surgical supplies that are used in quality veterinary practices all across the country.   After performing literally thousands of spay/neuter surgeries annually, Dr. Cobb has become very proficient. The prices are kept to a minimum because of the skill of the surgeon and the training of the staff.

During silver service clinics, each pet receives individual care in a production-line type setting.  25-30 pets arrive in the morning.  Dr. Cobb examines each pet after all have arrived.  Then, one at a time, each pet is anesthetized and has surgery.   After surgery, pets are housed in view of the staff and are monitored as a group until they can safely be returned to their cages.  Once the paperwork for all pets is completed, owners are called to pick up their pets.  Fixed costs are spread across more animals allowing us to keep the prices low while maintaining the care level that we would want for our own pets.  Dr. Cobb and staff have utilized the clinic setting for all of their personal pets.  Complication rates are so low they are published on the web.  Click here to see.  For more info on the value of spay/neuter clinics go to spayusa.org.

Gold service is provided in a one-on-one setting and is ideal for older pets, for pets with health problems, and for healthy young pets with owners who are concerned and can afford the care.  Dr. Weintrub uses gold service for all of her pets.  During gold service a client arrives for their personal appointment and the staff brings the pet into the clinic.  The veterinarian is present to answer questions.  The pet is immediately examined and anesthetized for surgery.  A veterinary assistant monitors the pets breathing, heart rate and pulses from the start of the anesthesia, through surgery and until the pet is able to hold his or her head up.  During gold service, IV fluids can be added for pets with the need. Due to Dr. cob's skill, surgery usually lasts less than 15 minute for dogs and less than 7 minutes for cats so fluids are rarely needed.  Acupuncture is provided post operatively to speed recovery and healing.  Owners are called as soon as the pet is ready to go home.
