Welcome to the Texas Coalition for Animal Protection (TCAP), where we offer a range of low-cost preventive pet health care services to help keep your pets healthy and happy. In this article, we’ll discuss the importance of preventive care and how our services can benefit your furry friends.
Why is preventive care important for pets?
Preventive care is essential for maintaining your pet’s overall health and well-being. Regular check-ups at your full service clinic, annual vaccinations, and preventative treatments can help detect and prevent health problems before they become more serious, expensive, or even life-threatening. By investing in preventive care, you can save money in the long run and ensure that your pet lives a long, healthy, and happy life.
What preventive services does TCAP offer?
At TCAP, we offer a range of low-cost preventive pet health care services to keep your pets healthy and happy. Our services include:
1. Spaying and Neutering: Spays and neuters save lives. By preventing unwanted litters, you can significantly reduce your household’s impact on pet overpopulation in DFW. Spaying female dogs and cats helps prevent uterine infections and breast cancer, which are fatal in about 50 percent of dogs and 90 percent of cats. Neutering male pets eliminates their chances of getting testicular cancer and lowers chance of prostate cancer as well.
