Spay/Neuter

Since opening our doors in 2005, our surgical team has performed over 175,000 spay/neuter procedures.

The Association of Shelter Veterinarians (ASV) has published guidelines and suggested protocols for spay/neuter procedures in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association. The clinic follows the recommendations of the ASV and practices high quality medicine.

Our veterinary center is a member of the National Spay/Neuter Response Team and follows the ASPCA Spay/Neuter Alliance Model- nationally recognized for the quality of care and self-sufficiency of its clinics.

As part of our mission to increase access to veterinary care, Anicira offers reduced fees for non-profit animal welfare organizations.

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.

Pre-anesthetic physical examination

Individualized general anesthetic plan based on age, body type, breed

Eligibility

All healthy dogs and cats over the age of 8 weeks and at least 2 pounds are eligible for surgery. The recommended age for surgery is 16 weeks. Early-age spay/neuter procedures have been endorsed by the Association of Shelter Veterinarians, the American Veterinary Medical Association, and the American Animal Hospital Association.

Preanesthetic Blood Work

Preanesthetic blood work for spay/neuter procedures is not required, but it is always recommended to ensure that your pet is a good candidate for anesthesia and surgery, especially for patients over the age of five years. Preoperative blood work may be required for other surgical procedures.

Preanesthetic blood work includes a complete blood count (CBC) and a chemistry profile. Preanesthetic blood work can be completed the morning of surgery or during a preoperative visit prior to the surgery date.
