Meyerland Animal Clinic offers state of the art surgery facilities with the best trained staff to ensure the best results and well being of your pet.

Why should I have my pet’s surgery done at Meyerland Animal Clinic instead of at one of the cheap spay/neuter clinics?

Good question. On the surface, it seems that the same procedure is somewhat cheaper done at some of those clinics. But let’s look deeper to understand the difference in what you are getting. It is definitely a situation of getting what you pay for in comparing our clinic’s surgical care versus one of the “cheap” clinic’s.

When we do surgery here, there are always 2 people with your pet…a surgical technician who has been specially trained in anesthesia as well as your doctor. The main risk with any surgery is the anesthesia, which is why ALL of our cases have EKG’s done ahead of time, to assess the heart rhythm, and why ALL of our cases have anesthetic monitoring during the entire procedure, including temperature, blood oxygenation levels, pulse rates and respiratory rates. We have intravenous fluids being administered the entire time, in order to keep your pet well hydrated, so no problems with the kidneys develop later. Warming blankets are used to properly maintain your pet’s temperature the whole time, so no hypothermia develops. We monitor recovery as well, and every 15 to 30 minutes all vital signs are taken. Your pet is kept in the recovery area under constant supervision.

Pain medications are started before surgery, and continue for several days afterwards, so your pet is always comfortable.

None of the “cheap” clinics do anywhere near this kind of monitoring, if any at all. And best of all, we give all of our pets loving and compassionate care.
