Affordable Spay/Neuter Surgery

Anicira offers high-quality, affordable spay and neuter surgeries at our nonprofit veterinary hospitals in Harrisonburg, VA, Manassas, VA, and San Diego, CA. Since 2005, we’ve helped tens of thousands of pets and played a key role in reducing shelter intake in our communities.

Why Spay or Neuter?

Spaying or neutering your pet helps them live a longer, healthier life and prevents unplanned litters. Benefits include:

• Prevents the deadly uterine infection called pyometra
• Reduced risk of certain cancers and tumors
• Decreases aggression, roaming, and marking behaviors
• Reduces the number of homeless pets entering shelters

For a full list of benefits, check out our resource “The Lifelong Benefits of Spaying/Neutering Your Pet“.

When Should My Pet Be Spayed or Neutered?

• Cats: Before 4 months of age
• Small dogs & female dogs: Around 5 months of age
• Large breed male dogs (50+ lbs adult weight): At 12 months
• Minimum age: 8 weeks and 2 lbs

Our recommendations are aligned with leading veterinary organizations, including the Association of Shelter Veterinarians, AVMA, and AAHA.

What’s Included

Every spay/neuter surgery includes:

• Pre-surgical physical exam
• Customized anesthesia plan
• Pre- and post-operative pain management
• Intraoperative vital monitoring
• Warming system for recovery comfort
• Post-op exam if needed

Preventive services—vaccinations, 4DX testing, and microchipping—are also available at the time of surgery.
