Vet Talk: High-Quality High-Volume Spay/Neuter
You see a stray dog walking through your yard. You volunteer at a shelter and see that every single cage in the building is occupied. On your hike, you come across a community cat with her litter of kittens. How did we get here? What can we do? Pet overpopulation is a worldwide crisis that is driven by a range of issues, including failure in getting pets spayed or neutered and the lack of accessible and affordable veterinary care. For a long time, there has been a reactive approach to pet overpopulation, such as utilizing shelters and rescues, animal control, and, sadly, humane euthanasia . This issue remains one of the greatest animal welfare challenges around the globe, and a more proactive approach is necessary to fight this battle.
HQHVSN, or high-quality, high volume spay-neuter, is aimed at stopping the cycle of pet overpopulation beforehand by providing accessible spay-neuter and wellness services. This, in turn, leads to less unwanted litters, less animals being taken into shelters and rescues, and less pet homelessness. It benefits our communities through improving the health of the pet, improving their quality of life, taking the burden off of shelters to house and feed these pets, and decreasing the amount of community resources that are necessary to keep up with pet overpopulation. Let’s take a further look into high-quality, high-volume spay-neuter!
