Spay & Neuter

Spaying is a process by which a female pet’s uterus and ovaries are removed. This process benefits the health and wellness of both cats and dogs and prevents unwanted hormone-driven behaviors. Health benefits of spaying include decreased risk of mammary and uterine/ovarian infections, and tumors. It can also decrease the spread of existing mammary tumors. Spaying also prevents pyometra, a life-threatening infection of the uterus that generally occurs in middle-aged to older pets. Behavioral benefits include reduced risk of unwanted reproduction and noisy heat cycles. 

Neutering is a process by which a male pet’s testicles are removed. This process benefits the health and wellness of both cats and dogs and prevents unwanted hormone-driven behaviors. Health benefits of neutering include decreased risk of prostate issues such as infections and enlargement and testicular issues such as hernias and tumors. Behavioral benefits include reduced risk of roaming, aggression, marking/spraying, and unwanted reproduction. 

Standard Surgical Care Includes:

• IV Catheter & Fluids: To maintain hydration and blood pressure.
• Expert Monitoring: Vital signs are tracked by a skilled technician.
• Pain Management: Includes an intra-operative dose plus take-home medication.
• E-Collar (cone): Provided to protect the incision site from licking or chewing, ensuring a safe and speedy recovery.

The surgery is based on your dog's weight.

*Pets that are in heat, pregnant, or overweight are medically more complex and require additional surgical and anesthesia time. To ensure the highest level of safety and minimize the risk of post-operative complications, an additional fee of $150 will apply.

Canine Neuter:

• 0- 20 lbs.: $365
• 20-40 lbs.: $385

 *Pets that are cryptorchid (have undescended testicles), a more complex procedure is necessary to ensure their health and safety. Undescended testicles have a high tendency to develop tumors and should be removed to prevent serious complications.

Because these surgeries require additional time and precision, the following fees apply:

• Inguinal: $150 per testicle for cases where the testicle is located near the groin.
• Abdominal: $300 per testicle. This is a more invasive procedure, similar to a spay, as the surgeon must enter the abdominal cavity to locate the testicle.

A cat spay is $250.

We believe in being upfront about our pricing so there are no surprises. While our core costs are clear, there are some additional required fees and optional add-ons that we can walk you through. 

• Rabies Vaccination ($50): Required for all pets without a current, up-to-date vaccination on file.
• Preoperative Bloodwork ($99): Mandatory for all pets over 3 years of age. While optional for younger pets, it is highly recommended to ensure they are healthy for anesthesia.

 To maximize your pet's comfort, you may choose to add:

• Cerenia ($25-$100): For nausea prevention and smoother recovery.
• Phovia ($35): Advanced light therapy to heal up to 50% faster.
• Microchip ($59): Permanent identification with lifetime registration.
• Nail Trim ($15): A close, painless trim while your pet sleeps.

We perform a complimentary exam prior to all surgeries to ensure your pet's safety. At this visit, we can update vaccines and perform bloodwork if needed.

To finalize your surgery date—typically a Tuesday, Thursday, or Friday—we collect a $100 deposit. This is not an extra fee; it is a down payment that goes directly toward your surgery costs.
