As you begin your search for a spay/neuter service provider, please keep in mind the following guidelines regarding the information found on our site.

• This website provides information on veterinary providers, which should not be construed as an endorsement of any kind. We do not endorse, recommend or promote any one veterinarian over another. The ultimate decision and agreement to retain the services of any veterinarian is the sole responsibility of the animal guardian.
• As we have mentioned, veterinary fees are rising. Spay/neuter fees are determined by a combination of variables including the type of animal, the breed, sex, weight and age, just to name a few. But they are also affected by less obvious factors such as geography and the growing shortage of veterinarians both in California and nationwide. As such, fees are frequently changing and you must call the veterinarian/clinic for their current pricing.
• In order to perform a spay/neuter, veterinarians must often perform or prescribe additional services such as vaccinations, blood tests, e-collars, or take-home pain medications for which there may be additional fees. For older animals, a blood test will likely be required; and for animals in heat or with complicating health conditions such as pregnancy or undescended testicle(s), there may be increased fees for surgery. There may also be an office charge. It is your responsibility to ask about additional fees and services prior to having the surgery and to know the cost before proceeding. All fees and costs will be required to be paid at the time services are rendered.
• The veterinarian will provide you with pre-surgical instructions at the time you make the appointment (no food after midnight, etc) and post-surgical instructions (keep the animal calm, etc.) following the surgery. Dogs should be on a leash, cats in carriers and feral cats in traps when visiting the veterinarian or clinic.
