Spaying and neutering are both routine elective procedures preformed which removes your animal's reproductive organs. The appropriate age to spay and neuter your pets is commonly around 6 months of age, but always discuss the ideal time to spay or neuter your pet with your veterinarian. Not only do these procedures prevent unwanted pregnancy and babies in the future but it also beneficial for your animal's overall health.
Leash and harness especially if you intend to let your cat outdoor in a supervised manner. Upon bringing your bundle of joy home you want to fully prepare your home and make sure it is an appropriate and safe environment for them. There are many household items that can be extremely harmful for your pet if they ingest them or even have direct contact with them.
Dental care is vital to the overall health of any companion animal. Dental disease can exacerbate many health issues throughout the body as an infection in the mouth can travel through the bloodstream. Over 70% of companion animals over the age of three years suffer from some form of dental disease, making oral health a very important factor to remember with your pet.
Taking your new pet to a veterinarian when you first get them is highly recommended to start them with a clean bill of health. At this appointment, your veterinarian can conduct a full physical exam and help you set up a vaccination protocol based on your pet's lifestyle. During your pet's first physical exam your veterinarian will discuss strategies with you to help keep your animal as healthy as possible and up to date on vaccinations.

These guys are great! Caring vet provider with reasonable prices.
Only complaint is that it’s super hard to get in as appointments are booked up well in advance, but I guess that only goes to show how good this place actually is!
We’ve had our dogs dental done here on multiple occasions. You can tell that the vets and techs know their stuff and are truly there to give your animal the best care and not just about money like so many other clinics.

Not surprising that, while the overall star rating is quite high, the recent reviews reflect a different story here, as will this one.

Charles W is gone. He's the reason there was a great team here, I imagine.
Suffice to say the staff are ignorant bullies. The vet, Ellen Lagore, and her techs give contradictory information and, when pressed for clarity, granted not in a gracious manner due to my frustration, they stutter, obfuscate, and outright refuse to answer.

Placed a deposit for my dog to get bilateral cryptorchid neutering surgery. Apparently this is a special procedure. They were unable to work around my work schedule for an appointment. I had previously made an appointment that was cancelled on me because the vet was not available those days, and I have not been able to get an appointment with them since then. I found another clinic that let me schedule a couple months ahead.
They will not refund the deposit to book the appointment, despite the fact their scheduling was not able to accommodate me. So apparently the deposit is not just to cover

We brought our dog in for a free dental consultation in October, they gave us a quote with a lowest-highest price. He just had his surgery mid November. He ended up needing much more treatment than anticipated, and we still paid just under the highest end of what we were quoted! Everyone we interacted with was professional, understanding, and quickly responded to any questions or concerns. We chose this office based on their excellent reviews, and I'm glad that we did. We had to travel 45 minutes each way, even though there are other vets much closer.. I would definitely recommend them to anyone

I brought my cat in with a reoccurring symptoms of a UTI. I was charged $90 for a 5 minute appointment to have my cat weighed. No tests were able to be done, yet my cats file shows that this is a reoccurring issue they still refused to give me the antibiotic that would clear up her infection. I've now had to pay not only there fees, but reopen a file with another clinic who will prescribe the medication needed to treat my cat. The young guy with all the tattoos and nose rings, was also very rude and ignorant while I calmly spoke my frustrations. I will be having all 3 of my animals changed

This place is what an experience with a vet should be. We have had 3 spays and two dental cleanings done and now use them as our main vet clinic. Recently our dog decided he was rock deficient and chowed down on a large quantity of rocks. The evidence of this was provided to us at night so off to the emergency vet clinic, who xrayed and suggested surgery as the best alternative but they couldn't do it right away and said to have our vet check the next day. Dr West saw him later and was concerned with the situation and gave us alternatives and we followed his advice- to make a long and convoluted

I'm so happy this place exists. When I wound up with a cat I wasn't expecting who turned out to not be fixed. I wasn't prepared to take her to my regular pricer (but still awesome) vet. After calling around to a few places I settled on the spay clinic. They were super reasonably priced. And able to accommodate us within the week.
Their drop off and pick up times are great for
Those who work during the day.
There was at least 6 people dropping their animals
Off at the same time as me so they know what they're doing. And were helpful during pick up.
This is a great option

Called and got my pet in right away to be neutered. Everything went smooth at drop off and pick up. Receptionist was nice and friendly. Price very good compared to our normal vet. Place seemed nice and clean and staff seemed to really care about the animals. Very happy with all aspects of this place and would definitely recommend if you need to have your pet desexed - definitely go here as you will save money and they are good.

My experience with The Spay Clinic have been outstanding. I had my dog neutered and my cat spayed. When I arrived, it was clean and professional in appearance. In addition, the staff were outstanding. I felt comfortable leaving my fur babies with them, which is a big deal.
Upon completion of their surgeries, I was provided with written aftercare instructions and felt 100% confident in the whole process.
I will definitely return to the Spay Clinic for all of my pet care needs.

This is long winded and I apologize for that in advance. The Spay Clinic is the most reliable and cost efficient clinic in the city. I cannot begin to express how much I appreciate this clinic. I will never again bring my pets to another clinic. My dog Zeus started experiencing digestive issues in the beginning of December. He has a history of eating inedible things such as tennis balls that could do a lot of damage not to mention how costly the surgery is to remove them so when my dog suddenly started vomiting without cause I panicked. They had no available appointments but said to bring him in

I bring our medium labradoodle, Angel and Charlie, our cotton de tutelar, here for all their services as the clinic is great. Overall the staff are knowledgeable and welcoming and Dr. West is truly the most patient. Unlike other vets that we have been to, he doesn't rush you or try to trivialize your concerns. He's very practical and not insistent on selling you drugs or vaccinations or pet food that you don't need which, I find is refreshing. It's annoying to chat with someone who's trying to sell you something and profit from you all the time. Although Charlie and

The Spay Clinic is a diamond in the rough when it comes to finding affordable essential care for beloved pets. The Spay Clinic provides a low cost, high quality solution for having cats and dogs spayed and neutered, as well as several other routine procedures.
We recently took our little mini-dachshund to The Spay Clinic for her spay. Setting up the appointment was easy and well organized. The clinic called with a reminder the day before to fast the puppy before her surgery which was great.
On the morning of the surgery, we dropped our puppy off at 7am, which was a fairly quick process. She

I had taken my cat to The Spay Clinic and now took my great dane puppy. Both times they have been, professional, kind, and seem to really understand the funny relationship between people and their pets (My pup refused to go in so I had to carry the 70 lb gangly baby through the double doors and it wasn't graceful but it was funny).
I would highly recommend The Spay Clinic. I wish I knew about it with my older dane but will be using their services for future cats and dogs.

I was skeptical of the spay clinic thinking it was some dirty back alley low budget clinic. I couldn't have been more wrong! I was extremely satisfied with their service. The staff are knowledgeable, professional, and polite. They made me feel at ease when they said they do roughly 6000 spays a year. As soon as my cat got home, she was running, and playing like normal. It was obvious she was in very little discomfort. I was surprised at how small and clean the incision was. Laser surgery really is the way to go! I highly recommend this place.

I'm glad I chose the spay clinic. Of course it was just because there prices were so great but the staff is extremely nice and caring and you know your pet is number one. We had no problems getting a female and male done both were just fine. Although I was quoted $115 for the female and she ended up being $155 a little high when a male is only $80? She said it was a flat rate but when I read reviews some people are saying they got cheaper than that so I'm confused... Oh well I will still recommend it.

When I needed to neuter my cat, one of the friends recommended Spay clinic. I went to check it out, and quite frankly wasn't impressed with how this place looked. The clinic itself is located in a strip that houses businesses; it looks very small and rather worn down from the outside. When I walked in, the place was packed: people were dropping off their cats and dogs. After five minutes of waiting, I got front desk lady's attention, and she explained that if I chose to go ahead and spay my cat at their clinic, I would have to drop him off early in the morning and pick him up after 4
