I had my second pup neutered there on 3/30/2011. They did a wonderful job and took very good care of my little boy! The staff are very friendly. You can hardly see evidence of the procedure. My little guy is up and about already! Thanks for you kind service and excellent care. They were highly recomended to me--and I will continue to do the same!
I have taken 3 of 4 of my dogs there to be spayed or neutered and have had wonderful experiences each and every time. The staff is very knowledgable and friendly. They called the next day to make sure all is well. I am very happy with them and wouldn't consider going anywhere else.
I had my cat spayed here about a year ago after she ended up getting pregnant. I waited until she was done lactating before i had her spayed (because there is an extra charge). Well a year later she still goes into a pseudo-heat and i researched and this happenes when the reproductive organs are removed completely. i don't know if anyone else has this problem, but i had her spayed so she would stop going in heat and making those cat calls, but it hasn't helped.
Response from this business:
S.H.- I think you are talking about a condition called ovarian remnant syndrome. I've performed over 50,000 surgeries and never had a case of this but it's always a possibility. I've performed spays where I've found separate ovarian tissue in abnormal places that could have been easily overlooked and studies have shown that even a small piece of ovary that breaks off and drops back into the abdomen can grow and release hormones. The only real cure in such a case is surgery so you have to be sure what you're dealing with. If your cat is going into heat it should be doing so almost constantly on and off every few weeks throughout the spring/summer months and may stop during colder months. If she is just occassionally doing this there may be another reason. Perhaps a cat hanging around outside is upsetting her and some cats just like to vocalize a lot. The next time you think she is in heat you should contact us as it would be the best time to check hormone levels with a blood test and also the best time to find an ovarian remnant if there is one.i have been useing this spay n nuter clinic for years and have never had a problem.On 3/5/10 i took 7 cats in to be nutered[i do rescues] on 5/14/10 one cat had to be uthenized because of an infection that had probably spiled into his blood.This WAS a heathly 9 month old cat.All the other cats are fine,my concern is on that day i called there @ 2:45pm to see how they were and was told that they weren't even done yet BUT i can pick them up @ 4:00pm. The reason was that they were " bombarded " my concern is that 7 cats were done in an hours time. A perfectly healthy cat is dead 8 days after being neutered there. Did they have too many to that day? And a mistake was made that i dont know. My vet could find no reason for his condition after doing a post op. They say they don't use any antibiotics during surgeries because it's a sterile environment. I'm sorry but red flags came up concerning this. I don't know whats to blame for this but i do know that a loving pet is dead 8 days after being there.
sincerely,
Donna S.
Response from this business:
I'm very sorry for the loss of your cat. I'm confused b/c the dates indicate the cat died 2 months later but you wrote 8 days. Either way, there are a lot of possible causes. I assume you meant your doctor performed a post-mortem ? If he didn't see infection then there is nothing to suggest a "mistake" or anything else to do with the surgery. I've performed over 50,000 surgeries & I've heard of 1 cat neuter that became infected. It was a feral cat w/severe diarrhea that got into the surgery site and it was obvious and responded to treatment. With 7,000 surgeries/year, eventually over the yrs. we are going to come across an animal that has serious problems that get worse from the stress of surgery or one that dies near the time of surgery as a pure coincidence. I recently had a dog come back days after surgery acting sick and it turned out the dog had swallowed a toy that was obstructing his GI tract. One reason a cat could die soon after surgery would be HCM. An exam or autopsy will often miss the disease. I'd also ask if the cat was FeLV/FIV tested ? I don't have enough space here to continue but feel free to contact me.
I'm very thankful that Spay Neuter Clinic has such low prices so people who care about animals can afford to spay and neuter.
I feel this doctor has a big heart for animals and their owners to provide such an affordable service.
The staff ran a tight ship; and even though the place was crowded, they quickly waited on each person in a competent and friendly manner.
My five kittens went in around 8AM and I got to take them home around 3PM that same day which was very important to me, as I wanted to have them back home as soon as possible in their familiar surroundings so they would not be afraid.
I am recommending this place to all the animal lovers I know!
I took my precious 10 month old Jack Russell/Beagle to the clinic. Princess is very submissive and sometimes timid. These folks were kind and reassuring to my pup and she had absolutely no problems. She was spayed, microchipped, vaccinated for rabies, parvo/distemper,bordetella, given pain medication there and for the next three days at home and had her nails done all for $159!! No kidding! It was amazing. The next day, the clinic called me to check on Princess. It has been 12 days now and she was up and playing the second day out. We have been watchful of her of course but the healing is perfect and she is doing great. Thank you to the clinic doctors and assistants. They are the best there is!
I took my one year old pittbull there to get spayed and I was very happy with the results. My dog was up and running in no time and she didnt have any complications from it :-)
I rescued four feral kittens from my yard and took them to Spay Neuter Clinic this week. The office is not fancy, but the staff is experienced and caring. I was a very nervous and tearful foster mother, but the staff put me at ease and the kittens are doing great. Surgery ($28 neuter, $47 spay), vaccinations, nail trim and pain meds - total cost was $95 for the girls and $76 for the boys. My regular vet was going to charge $250 just for a spay. I saved a lot of money but more importantly, the cats are comfortable and doing very well.
I have a 4 month old Yorkshire Terrier that was spayed at the Pittsburgh Spay Neuter Clinic. Our original vet was going to charge us $340 and we were able to get it done at the clinic for $86. The office is not fancy, but is clean and the staff is friendly, well-informed and did a great job taking care of my baby. The vet even called the next day to ensure she was doing well. We would highly recommend the clinic to anyone else with spay,neuter, or vaccination needs.
Bella had microchip ,spay , pain medication , pain injection post op and nails clipped for 158 dollars! Very nice staff !The clinic is not much to look at, but the care is great at a low cost.You will not be disappointed !
This spay and neuter clinic is one of the cheapest I have seen in the area (especially if you have a cat). I took my male cat there, dropped him off before work, and picked him up after. They are very cut and dry (you go only for vaccines, spays, or neuters), but their client relations are excellent. They explain the procedure to you, offer pain medication for your pet afterwards, and have convenient hours and location.
