Schedule a Spay/Neuter Appointment

Appointments are accepted for any dog or cat, regardless of the county or state you live in. You do not have to be a resident of Mecklenburg County. All animals must be at least 8 weeks old and weigh 2 pounds to be eligible for surgery. Cryptorchid males must be at least 6 months old.  For animals 7 years of age or older, we require pre-surgical blood work within 30 days prior to the appointment. Blood work can be done through our clinic or at any vet clinic.

Payment is due the day of surgery.   If after scheduling an appointment, you choose to purchase a microchip, vaccines or other services for your animal on the day of surgery, please let the staff know when you are checking in by marking the appropriate places on your paperwork.

All animals must have current vaccines given by a veterinarian.  Rabies vaccines can be given to animals at 12 weeks of age and older according to NC state law. If your animal is between 8 – 12 weeks old, a rabies vaccine will not be required.  You will need to provide proof of the current vaccine on the morning of surgery.  The only acceptable proof of rabies vaccine is a certificate from your vet.  We cannot accept the rabies tag as proof of the rabies vaccination.  If your pet is not current on the rabies vaccine we can provide that for your pet on the day of surgery, along with several other optional vaccines.

 On the evening before surgery, please be sure to follow all pre-surgical instructions. Click here for pre-surgical instructions.

Please bring your animal in on the day of surgery at 8:00 a.m. This is the only time we accept animals for surgery. We do not schedule appointments for surgery in the afternoon or at any other time of the day. Surgeries are scheduled by appointment only.

Animals must be picked up in the afternoon on the same day as surgery. 
Pickup begins at 3:00 p.m. and runs through 4:00 p.m. when the clinic closes. There is no staff on-site overnight at our clinic and it is important that you pick up your animal and continue his/her care at home where he/she will be most comfortable. Cuddling, pampering, and spoiling that evening are highly recommended by our spay/neuter staff.

Please watch this short video about caring for your pet after their surgery.

Your animal may need an e-collar if she/he is licking or chewing at the incision site. These are available for purchase at our clinics on the day of surgery.  You may also obtain at either your primary veterinarians’ office or a local pet store. Your animal must be kept indoors and on low activity for 10 days following surgery. Dogs may go out for short, supervised leash walks to use the bathroom during that time. Your animal can not have a bath for 10 days after surgery. We recommend bathing and/or grooming your pet prior to the day of surgery if he/she is used to a regular grooming schedule.

Your animal will receive pain medications the day of their surgery.
