Salt Lake Spay and Neuter focuses on providing economical and compassionate care to your loved pets.
Our clinic was the first within Salt Lake County to prioritize the sterilization of dogs, cats, and feral cats to help aid with the overpopulation crisis.
We set surgeries by appointment only. Please contact us for more information or to setup an appointment today!
Our Services Include Canine Spay, Canine Neuter, Feline Spay, Feline Neuter, Feral & Stray Community Cats, and Dental Care
as well as Vaccinations, Microchip implants, and Heartworm testing & prevention.
Information about our services to help you make your decisions:
Sterilization: surgery to make an animal unable to produce offspring.
Ovariohysterectomy This is a surgical procedure during which a female's ovaries and uterus are removed performed under general anesthesia.
Castration is the surgical removal of a male's testicles performed under general anesthesia.
Cryptorchidism is the absence of one or both testicles from the scrotum. In some cases, the testicle may be located in the subcutaneous tissues in the groin region, between the inguinal canal and the scrotum. In cases of abdominal cryptorchidism, the testicle cannot be felt from the outside.
Pre-Anesthetic Bloodwork: Helps makes sure your pet can handle anesthesia and recover. We will require Comprehensive Chemistry and CBC for all dental procedures. The doctor may require bloodwork for other procedures based on the pets condition and medical history of the pet. Otherwise, we always recommend blood work prior to anesthesia.
$45 Pre-op: Checks basic liver and kidney functions and glucose.
$85 Comprehensive Chemistry w/ CBC
Comprehensive Chemistry: In depth look at liver, kidney, and organ functions.
CBC: (Complete Blood Count): Checks for infection, anemia, and dehydration.
$38 Coag: PT/aPTT Combo Test: Checks that your pets clotting times are within normal for surgery.
$20 IV catheter: Anesthesia lowers blood pressure, and it can be difficult to find a vein to administer emergency medication. An IV catheter allows us direct access. Not available for feline spay or neuter.
$45 IV catheter with fluids: Includes IV catheter placement and regulates your pets blood pressure under anesthesia, and helps them recover faster by perfusing the liver and kidneys of anesthesia.
Vaccinations: Vaccines stimulate the immune system's production of antibodies that identify and destroy disease-causing organisms that enter the body. Vaccines provide immunity against one or several diseases that can lessen the severity or prevent certain diseases altogether. We offer Rabies, Da2pp, Bordetella, FVRCP, and FELV for $25-$30 each or $65-$75 for a complete set. The cost of a complete set does not include boosters.
$25 Microchip: It’s the only way to prove ownership and identity. It's a radio frequency chip the size of a grain of rice. It’s placed under the skin between the shoulder blades. We use PetLink microchips that come with Lifetime International Registration.
Heartworm: Heartworm disease is contracted through mosquitoes. It is very painful and can be fatal. Prevention is affordable and effortless. You need to test for heartworms, $25, before giving prevention if your pet is 6-months or older. Prices vary for prevention based on weight.
Baby Teeth (Deciduous teeth): Sometimes the adult teeth don’t push out the baby teeth, especially in small dogs. Leaving them can cause dental disease. Upon veterinarian approval, we can schedule your pet for their baby teeth removal with their spay or neuter as long as their adult teeth are erupting and they are under 1 year of age. The cost estimate is $150 and includes dental x-rays. If your pet is already spayed or neutered, their adult teeth are erupting, and they are under 1 year of age we can schedule an appointment to just remove baby teeth for $250.
$15-$30 Umbilical Hernia Repair: The abdominal wall behind the belly button is damaged or open. This can allow fat and abdominal contents to come out. It's not common, but if we find your pet has one, we’ll strongly encourage you let our doctor fix it while your pet is already under general anesthesia. Generally, pets are given a brief exam for an umbilical hernia as a courtesy. If your pet has been diagnosed with an Umbilical Hernia by another veterinarian, please let us know.
$75-$125 Dew Claw Removal: Our doctors do not recommend removing dew claws. It's often an unnecessary, painful, and difficult amputation with a difficult recovery. The procedure often requires multiple rechecks. We advise just keeping the nails trimmed. Our doctors may decline the surgery.
$16 E-Collar Cone: a plastic cone placed around the head to prevent an animal from licking or chewing at a surgery site, wound, or dressing.
$20-$30 Soft Paw Application: A vinyl cap that is glued to the nail. It is a humane alternative to declawing. We offer this for cats already under anesthesia only. We only offer this service to indoor only cats. They last about 6-8 weeks depending on the cat. Some cats do not tolerate soft paws.
