Important Tips
Schedule in advance! Allow two months’ lead time for your pet’s appointment, since these surgeries are in high demand. For the greatest pregnancy prevention and the health and behavioral benefits, sterilize kittens and puppies at 3–5 months old. Don’t wait til your animal has a litter: ‘spay delay’ is a major cause of shelter overpopulation, among other disadvantages to your pet and the community. You can save lives by reducing the number of animals entering shelters, where many face an unnecessary and untimely death. If a female pet goes into heat, keep her indoors and separated from males.
Possible additional fees: At the time of surgery, your pet will receive a rabies vaccination if not already current, per state law. Vets may require and charge for other vaccines and parasite treatments, for an additional cost of $40–100+; ASN does not. There may be a surcharge if a pet is in-heat, pregnant, or 7 years or older; for larger dogs; or if overnight boarding is required. To minimize costs, we recommend ASN.
