It's only done once. Shouldn't it be done right?
The chart below compares what is offered at Pet Vet Hospital & Wellness Center to what you'll get at most spay/neuter clinics:
Procedure |
Pet Vet- Yes |
Spay/Neuter Clinics- Maybe NOT |
Will the Doctor use inhalent maintenance anesthesia? | Yes | Injectable drugs are cheaper but far less safe than inhalant anesthesia. |
Wellness Testing Prior to Surgery Allows Doctor to evaluate pet's internal health |
Yes | Few low cost spay/neuter clinics have in-house diagnostic equipment to perform these safety test. |
Continually monitor Temperature, Pulse and Respiration | Yes | Few low cost spay/neuter clinics have blood pressure and EKG monitoring available. |
IVC and Fluids Hydration, establish emergency port, rinses, anesthesia |
Yes |
With limited resources this is a safety measure not typically offered in a spay/neuter clinic.
|
Pre and Post Surgical Pain Management Monitor and recover on heated bedding |
Yes | Many offer a minimal level of pain relief for an additional fee. We believe pain management should be mandatory and not an option. |
Sterilized Surgery Suite Masked, gowned and gloved with fully autoclaved instruments |
Yes | Many low-cost surgical programs don't have the funds to provide basic sterile gowns and gloves for each individual surgery. |
Focused on Caring for Individual Pet Family Members | Yes | While Spay and neuter clinics provide a valuable service to any community, their primary objective is to spay/neuter the masses, not provide individualized, personal care. |
