At Texas Wellness Spay & Neuter Clinic in McAllen, TX, we specialize in providing safe, affordable, and compassionate spay and neuter services for dogs and cats. Choosing to spay or neuter your pet is one of the most important decisions you can make for their health, happiness, and the wellbeing of the community.
Why Spay & Neuter Your Dog or Cat?
Health Benefits
- Spaying female dogs and cats reduces the risk of uterine infections and breast tumors, many of which can be life-threatening.
- Neutering male dogs and cats eliminates the risk of testicular cancer and lowers the chance of prostate issues.
Better Behavior
- Neutered male dogs and cats are less likely to roam, mark territory, or show aggression.
- Spayed females no longer go into heat, eliminating related stress and behaviors.
- Overall, pets often become calmer and easier to manage at home.
Preventing Overpopulation
Every year, thousands of dogs and cats are surrendered to shelters or abandoned. By spaying or neutering your pet, you help prevent unwanted litters and reduce the number of homeless animals in our community.
Saving Money
Preventing litters and avoiding certain health issues saves you the cost of medical treatments and the expenses of caring for puppies or kittens.
What to Expect at Our Clinic
Pre-Surgery Check
Our veterinarians carefully examine each dog or cat to ensure they are healthy enough for surgery.
Safe Surgery & Anesthesia
We use trusted anesthesia methods and monitor pets closely throughout the procedure.
Comfortable Recovery
Pets are monitored after surgery until they are stable, and we provide detailed home-care instructions to help them heal safely.
Follow-Up Support
Our team is available to answer questions and, if needed, check your pet’s recovery progress.
The Right Time to Spay or Neuter
Most dogs and cats can be spayed or neutered around 4 to 6 months of age. Larger dog breeds may benefit from waiting a bit longer, but older pets can often undergo surgery safely after an evaluation.
Common Myths
- “My cat or dog will get fat after surgery.” Weight gain is caused by overeating and lack of exercise, not spay/neuter surgery.
- “It’s better to let a female have one litter first.” There is no health benefit to this; early spaying actually reduces cancer risks.
- “Neutering will change my pet’s personality.” Your pet will remain the same loving companion, just with fewer unwanted behaviors.
