Spay ($375-$950)

The age accepted for spaying a dog is approximately 6 months. It is also acceptable to spay a dog once she is an adult, although there is a slightly greater risk of postoperative complications in elderly dogs as well as in dogs that are overweight or have health issues. Therefore, in most instances it is advised to spay a dog when she is still a puppy.

  • Small dogs (20-40 lbs): $490

  • Big dogs (61-90 lbs): $825

What to expect during the spay?
