Spaying and Neutering Your Pets

Well, this morning I dropped our 8 month old rescue beagle pup off to be spayed today. A friend had told me of a great place just down the street from our neighborhood called Wally’s Friends™. After checking it out, I decided we would gladly use it because of its cost, location, and the reputation it already had in our area.

Boy was it CROWDED this morning. You go in and fill out the paper work, wait in line, and they check your dog’s vaccination history, and take your payment based upon the services you choose. You can get any vaccination your pet is lacking as well as test for heart-worms or get medication for heart-worms. You also have a choice of getting pain medications for your dog once it goes home after surgery.

Everything is reasonably priced. The pain meds for example are only $5. The spay cost me $42. That is a price just about anyone can afford.

Wally’s Friends™ is unique in the fact that it offers a low cost spay and neuter in our area to reduce the increasing number of unwanted puppies and kittens. It is the first of its kind in the Chattanooga area! Wally’s Place™ is a stand alone clinic that is devoted solely to high quality, high volume, low-cost spay/neuter for both dogs and cats. Wally’s Friends™ serves Chattanooga, Hamilton County and the surrounding rural counties, including Georgia and Alabama.

Interestingly, I found that after reading their web-page, that Wally’s Friends™ is a Petsmart Charities Partner. Spay and neuter are important to help solve the problem of pet overpopulation.

Did you know that a spayed or neutered animal will live a longer healthier life? Spay or neuter decreases your pet’s chance for cancers of the reproductive organs. Spayed or neutered animals are less aggressive and exhibit better behavior. It also reduces the desire to roam, fight, and mark territory. It is a win-win for both you and your pet!

We get to pick up our little girl first thing tomorrow morning. I will let you know how she does with an update tomorrow.

We picked her up and she did great. We are on day 3 post op. I put a bit of peanut butter on her pain pill and she took it just fine. We have had a hard time keeping her quiet so she can rest. But, she is recuping just fine. I am very please with our experience with Wally’s Friends.
