Spay and neuter in
Houston lets you raise healthy pups and kittens. When the animals
are young it is easy for them to recover from surgery. The young ones wake up
faster from anesthesia as compared to grown up animals. Therefore, it is
advisable to get spay and neuter in Houston
soon as you adopt a young animal.
Some doctors advise people to wait till the cats or dogs
have had their first litter, as it makes it easier for them to perform the
procedure. It is however up to your level of comfort and how you plan to live
with the pets that dictate your choice. If you have the money to raise more
pets then let them reproduce once, but if you cannot afford to have another pet
in the house get it spayed soon at an animal hospital near you.
The drive to control the pet population started in the early
1930’s. Cats were however allowed to roam the streets until the 1970’s. Dogs
with their hostile behavior were always taken off the street and put away in
shelters. In the past, it was considered okay to drown the unwanted dogs or to
shoot them and comparatively, anesthesia was considered dangerous for them. Now
with more people living in the cities, the trend has changed and all
responsible pet owners get their pets neutered so they do not add to the pet
population. Research shows that there are seven times more pups and kittens
born each day as compared to human babies.
The first spay/neuter clinic started operations in Los
Angeles in 1969. This impelled more debate around the country on the benefits
of the medical procedure. Animal welfare issue gained more spotlight in the
news and hence the general population gained better knowledge about the issue
and more people began to spay and neuter their pets.
Today, the animal hospitals have the well-educated doctors,
trained staff and modern equipment to provide effective pet health care services.
