Integrated Veterinary Services’ mission is to provide low-cost spay/neuter services.  This does not mean low QUALITY, however. Dr. Tracey has performed thousands of spay-neuter procedures. Our anesthesia protocol is extremely safe and effective and includes two different pain medications.  We also perform local blocks on every patient, so three different forms of pain control are working to keep your pet comfortable. There is one-on-one monitoring from the time your pet is induced (goes under anesthesia) until he or she is awake enough to go back to the cat or dog room.

So how do we keep fees so affordable?  We have very low overhead. What overhead we do have is spread out over a fairly large number of surgeries per day.  And because all we do is spay-neuter, we do not have to have x-ray machines, bloodwork machines, dental equipment, etc.  All this equipment is very expensive and these costs must be built into the fee structure at a regular practice.

Should I spay/neuter?

There is a lot of controversy right now about spaying and neutering dogs.  Do it or not? At what age? Removal of reproductive organs or just sterilization?  These are questions you will need to research and speak with your regular veterinarian about.  Whatever you decide PLEASE be responsible!! There are not enough homes….

For cats,  on the other hand, there is no question in my mind!  I am not aware of any research that shows detrimental effects of spaying and neutering cats, even as young as 3 months of age.  There are SO many cats and they are SO prolific. Uncontrolled breeding leads to over-crowding, disease, suffering, death. Let’s break this cycle and spay and neuter our cats early!!

When it comes to our feline friends, there’s a responsibility that we all share to ensure their health and well-being. Mobile veterinary services play a crucial role in this, especially when it comes to spaying and neutering. By offering these essential services right at our doorstep, mobile vets make it easier for cat owners to take that important step in preventing unwanted litters.

With cats being able to reproduce so quickly and in such numbers, we need all the resources available to combat this issue. Plus, the comfort of being at home can help keep our kitties calm during what might otherwise be a stressful experience.

Additionally, when we think about the overall life journey of our pets, sometimes we face difficult choices that weigh heavily on our hearts. In such times, having a compassionate service like Pawssum cat euthanasia available can be invaluable. It allows families to make end-of-life decisions in a familiar, loving environment, reducing the anxiety that can accompany a trip to the clinic.

Knowing that mobile vets can provide this service at home helps ease the burden of these tough moments. It ensures that our beloved cats can receive care and dignity in their final hours, surrounded by those who love them most. Together, these veterinary services not only help control the cat population but also support the emotional needs of families as they navigate the ups and downs of pet ownership.
