The Las Vegas area has many things to offer its residents and visitors. From the entertainment to the growing economy, there is something for everyone to enjoy. The city is home to several major hospitals, including North Vista Hospital.
Getting your pet spayed or neutered has many health and behavioral advantages. In addition, it is the law in Nevada for pets over 4 months.
Spay & Neuter
Our mission is to avert pet overpopulation and the associated senseless euthanasia that occurs in the high-volume single-site animal shelters of Southern Nevada. Heaven Can Wait focuses on eradicating the plight of unwanted animals by offering a full range of programs including low cost spay and neuter referrals, pet adoptions and humane education. Community Cat Coalition of Clark County promotes the reduction of feral cats and their negative impact on the community through Trap, Neuter and Return (TNR) management strategies.
It is important that you have your dog or cat surgically spayed or neutered. This helps to prevent unwanted litters, but there are also major medical advantages as well. For example, female dogs that are spayed before their first heat cycle significantly decrease their risk of uterine cancer and life-threatening uterine infections such as pyometra. In addition, neutering male pets can eliminate testicular cancer and reduce aggression issues as well as urine marking behavior. All of these behaviors are influenced by hormones and can be controlled by surgically sterilizing your pet.
Dental Care
Many lower-income Veterinarian Clinic in North Las Vegas NV can’t afford dental care, which can affect their overall health. That’s where organizations like Adopt a Vet Dental come in to help, treating hundreds of low-income veterans every year in northern Nevada and now south of the Las Vegas Valley. Pedersen says qualifications include being below 150 percent of the federal poverty guidelines, having a VA primary care provider, and not having dental insurance. They also must be a Nevada resident.
Surgery
Veterinary emergencies do happen, and they can occur at any time of the day. If your pet experiences an emergency, Ann Road Animal Hospital is prepared to handle them. However, if your emergency occurs after hours, please contact the North Rainbow Veterinary Emergency Hospital at 4445 N. Rainbow Blvd, Suite 108, Las Vegas NV 89108.
