PetSet to unveil new mobile spay-and-neuter clinic serving underserved Houston communities

PetSet debuted a custom-built mobile spay-and-neuter clinic Dec. 18, expanding the nonprofit’s ability to bring preventative veterinary care directly to Houston neighborhoods with limited access to services, according to a news release.

The details: The state-of-the-art unit was designed to increase efficiency and capacity, allowing PetSet to perform more surgeries each day and serve larger and older animals, according to the release.

PetSet officials said the mobile clinic is expected to support up to 1,200 additional surgeries annually and is designed specifically for high-volume surgery days. 

The mobile unit includes an expanded number of kennels and a second surgical table to support multiple procedures at once. 

“With these enhancements, we expect to perform hundreds more spay and neuter surgeries each year,” Co-President Tama Lundquist said. “This new mobile unit is a critical step forward in addressing the root causes of animal overpopulation across Greater Houston.”

The clinic is scheduled to begin full operations in January and will rotate through communities across Greater Houston.
