Spay & neuter

Reduce the number of unwanted and homeless animals and prevent euthanasia.

Spaying/neutering your pet avoids unwanted litters, helps prevent unwanted behaviors, and reduces risks for common health issues.

Improved health

Spaying/neutering helps prevent common issues like mammary masses and uterine infections that are typically fatal for females, and avoids the likelihood of pancreatic cancers in males.

No unwanted litters

Preventing pregnancies lessens the tragedy of a growing population of unwanted pets and the burden an unwanted litter places on you.

Fewer undesirable behaviors

Having your pet spayed/neutered helps curb undesirable behaviors like spraying, scratching, fighting, mounting, and roaming.

High-quality surgery at low cost

Don’t let a tight budget stop you from doing the right thing for your pet. We make this safe, effective procedure easy on you and your pet.
