Appointments for Dogs

Appointments for Dogs

• We are scheduling a limited number dogs at this time (younger dogs under 4 years old, female dogs under 75 pounds, and male dogs under 40 pounds).
• For females who have had a heat, please wait at least 4 weeks after females stop bleeding to schedule (increased blood in the uterus makes surgery riskier).
• Our first priority is to schedule dogs belonging to people who cannot afford to go to a full-service veterinarian.
• We do not alter brachycephalic dogs or dogs with known anesthetic sensitivities (pugs, bulldogs, Boston terriers, shar peis, etc.).
• The fee for male dogs under 40 pounds is $250 and $300 for female dogs under 50 pounds and $350 for female dogs over 50 pounds, in heat, or overweight. 
• A $100, non-refundable deposit (without at 48 hour advance notice of your need to cancel) is required.

Please do not request an appointment if you do not meet the above criteria (except if you have an emergency such as a female with an infected uterus, or face losing your housing).
