Yes, we prefer by appointment to minimize your wait time. 3. What forms of payment do you accept? Cash, Check, Mastercard and Visa. We do not take American Express or Care Credit. 4. Can I make payments? Payment is required at the time of service. 5. At what age can I have my pet spayed or neutered? Spaying or neutering can be done at approximately 6 months of age. Your pet is given an exam prior to surgery to help determine whether your pet is healthy enough to undergo the surgical procedure. Current vaccinations are required at the time of surgery. Also a pre-anesthetic blood screen is recommended prior to undergoing anesthesia and surgery. 6. What is the pre-anesthetic blood screening? This is a blood test that is run here in the clinic prior to surgery. It tests the organ functions, blood counts and clotting function of your pet. The pre-anesthetic blood screening is done to assure safety during surgery and the ability to heal following surgery. 7. How long do the sutures stay in after my pet's surgery? Procedures involving sutures require them to be removed in 7 - 14 days depending on the type of surgery. No, there is no advantage to letting your pet have one litter. However there are plenty of advantages to having you pet spayed or neutered. These advantages include decreasing the chances of breast tumors later in life, decreasing the chance of cystic ovaries and uterine infections later in life, decreasing the desire to roam the neighborhood, decreasing the incidence of prostate cancer later in life, helping prevent spraying and marking, and also decreases the surplus of unwanted puppies and kittens. 9. Do you board pets? No, we do not board. Our receptionists can refer you to a boarding facility in the greater Houston area when you are ready for your next trip! 10. What are your kennels like? Our dog kennels are all indoor. The dogs are walked 3 times daily while during their stay. Cats are housed in a quiet, separate area, away from the dogs. |
