Affordable Spay/Neuter Surgery For All
Anicira Veterinary Center of Manassas was founded to address the lack of access to affordable veterinary care within the Northern Virginia community. Since opening in 2012, we have provided thousands of spay/neuter surgeries and continued to respond to the needs within our community by expanding our services. Our goal is to provide excellent care that is affordable to all to reduce animal suffering.
Preventive care services such as vaccinations, testing, and microchipping are also available at the time of surgery. The center follows the recommendations of the Association of Shelter Veterinarians and the National Spay/Neuter Response Team to provide high-quality medicine backed by the most recent science.
If you are unable to afford a spay or neuter surgery for your pet, we have options available to help. Please give us a call to discuss.
We are pleased to offer discounted spay/neuter surgery for 501(c)3 animal welfare and rescue organizations. To set up an account for your organization, please contact us directly.

Why Spay/Neuter?
- Pets who are spayed or neutered live longer and healthier lives.
- Helps address behavior concerns
- Prevents health problems such as mammary tumors in females and testicular cancer in males

When to Spay/Neuter?
- A pet must be at least 8-weeks old and weigh at least 2 lbs
- For cats, we recommend surgery between 4-5 months (16-20 weeks) of age.
- For all female dogs and small breed male dogs, we recommend spaying or neutering between 5-6 months of age.
