One of the most important health decisions a pet owner will make is to have their pet spayed or neutered. Spaying or neutering promotes a healthier life for your pet and saves you money. It also reduces overpopulation and euthanasia of unwanted animals.

REMEMBER!

Spaying/neutering of all pets is encouraged at an early age for the better health of the pet. It has been documented that early spaying of females alleviates health issues later such as mammary tumors. The early neutering of males will reduce the incidence of prostate problems, testicular cancer and discourage territory marking, running off issues, etc. Spaying/neutering, most importantly, helps greatly reduce our current overpopulation problem.                              

Animal Care Services strongly urges all pet owners to establish a relationship with a veterinarian to protect the health of your pet. Remember, your pet depends on you to provide them with yearly checkups and vaccinations!

How much does it cost to spay a female cat?

Private vets cost anywhere from $200–$400 for a spay/neuter procedure. You also have the option to bring your kitty to a lower-cost clinic. These are typically run by nonprofits and all surgeries are performed by licensed veterinarians. You'll probably take your cat home the same day they receive treatment.

Why is spaying a cat so expensive?

How much does it cost to spay a cat? The cost to spay a female cat will typically be slightly more expensive compared to neutering a male cat. This is because there's more work your veterinarian has to do to complete it since it's a tad more invasive.

Can I neuter my cat at PetSmart?

PetSmart offers reduced and low-cost spaying and neutering at its Banfield clinics or through any of the clinics that it partners with throughout the United States and Canada.

At what age can you spay a cat?

Each pet is unique and your vet will be able to offer advice on when you should have your cat spayed or neutered. However, we typically recommend spaying or neutering kittens at around five to six months old. Adult cats can also be spayed or neutered.
