Generally, we recommend performing spay/neuter surgeries between 4 and 6 months of age. For large breed male dogs (adults expected to weigh over 50 lbs), we recommend having them neutered when they are one year old. For female pets, it is best to have them spayed before they experience their first heat cycle which is typically around 5-6 months of age. Please contact us if you are unsure about the best time to have your pet spayed or neutered.
We do not keep pets overnight after surgery. We are not a 24-hour facility and we do not have staff on-site overnight or on weekends. Pets are able to begin the recovery process immediately from the comfort of their own home with their families.
Pre-op blood work is required for pets who are 5 years or older receiving dental, oral, or general surgery. For all other anesthetic procedures, blood work is strongly recommended but not required.
Pet food will be distributed on the second Saturday of each month at 910 N. Liberty St. in Harrisonburg

No. If you need to find a new home for your pet, we recommend contacting your local animal shelter. They will be able to help you with the re-homing process.
Anicira is not a walk-in or emergency hospital. However, we do offer same-day surgical and medical care for sick and injured pets during our business hours. We are not open on weekends or overnight. Please take your pet to the nearest emergency clinic if you are unable to reach Anicira over the phone. If your pet is experiencing a medical emergency outside of Anicira’s business hours, please take them to the nearest emergency clinic.
