Spay and Neuter

You can personally make a difference by spaying or neutering your pet. Male or female, your pet will be healthier and live a longer life if it is spayed or neutered. By spaying or neutering your dog or cat, you can help reduce the pet overpopulation in San Antonio and decrease the euthanasia of adoptable pets. If you haven’t had your pet sterilized yet, perhaps you are one of the many people who haven’t gotten around to it or simply are a bit nervous about the surgery for your pet.

If you are nervous about the surgery, the good news is, spaying or neutering remains one of the safest surgeries for your pets. And, whether your pet is male or female, there are lots of health benefits to having your pet sterilized, including prevention of certain types of cancers which may add to the longevity of your pet. Learn more about these health benefits and what to expect before and after having your pet spayed or neutered.

In most cases vaccination and micro-chipping are included with surgery. All animals must weigh at least two pounds and must be at least 8 weeks of age in order to undergo surgery.  If you are spaying or neutering a cat most places do not require an appointment. Please see the map below for locations or visit our events calendar to schedule your appointment today.

IMPORTANT CARE YOUR PET NEEDS AFTER HIS OR HER SURGERY.

  • DO NOT GIVE THEM TYLENOL OR ASPRIN unless specifically prescribed by your veterinarian. Tylenol is toxic to animals and aspirin can be deadly after surgery.
  • Make sure to keep your dog or cat inside after surgery, this will help you watch them and stop them from hurting themselves.
  • Don’t let your pet run or jump around for at least a week.
  • Don’t let your pet lick or chew at the incision site, this could cause infection and complications in the healing process. If licking or chewing becomes a problem use an e-collar (or satellite dish collar that’s what I call them) to prevent your pet from getting to the affected area.
  • Make sure to check the incision site twice a day. If it gets dirty clean it gently with luke warm water and a clean cotton ball.
  • No swimming, bathing, or playing in the rain until at least a week after surgery.
