• Because surgery on dogs require more time, and recovery space for dogs is limited, we allow 1 dog and 2 cats per family/per day unless additional space happens to be available. We also are no able to accommodate “giant breed” dogs (i.e. Great Dane, St. Bernard, Mastiff)
• Dogs must be at least 4 months old.
• Kittens must be at least 3lbs.
• Dogs must have a well fitted collar and be on a leash, and each individual cat must be confined in it's own individual carrier or pillow case. (please clearly label carriers with your last name)
• Pet owners must bring 2 towels per pet. They will be returned that day.
• Anesthesia can be hard for older animals to handle. Blood work is recommended for pets over 5 years of age and required for pets, 8 years or older. Please bring results that are no more than 2 weeks old with you the day of surgery. Our veterinarian has the right to turn away any pet if they feel blood work is needed prior to surgery.

FAQ:

Q. My pet is in heat or pregnant. Can she still have surgery?
A. Yes.

Q. My cat has a litter of kittens that are still nursing. Can she have surgery?
A. Cats with a litter should not have surgery until the kittens are weaned and eating only solid food. Don’t forget, we have a kitten special! Bring in your mama cat to be spayed and we’ll spay/neuter the kittens at no charge! Kittens must be 3 lbs for surgery.

Q. It’s recommended I arrive early. Just how early do I need to arrive?
A. It’s difficult to give an exact time as the number of people that arrive early varies each day. Most clients arrive between 5am and 6:30am.

Q. Do you keep my pet overnight?
A. No. All pets must be picked up the day of surgery. A pick-up time will be announced at load up time.

Q. My pet just needs vaccinations or micro-chipping? Can I have those services done at the Spay Station even though my pet isn't having surgery?
A. No. All "additional services" listed above are only available for pets having surgery on the Spay Station except for flea control which can be purchased at any Spay Station location at 8am.
