CANINE & FELINE | Spay & Neuter Information

Dogs & Puppies

Age and Weight Requirements:
- Pets must be at least 3 months old and at weigh least 3 pounds to be eligible for surgery.
Rabies Vaccination Requirement:
- All animals over 12 weeks old are required by law to be up to date on the one-year rabies vaccine.
- Options for compliance:
  - Add the 1-year Rabies Vaccine Service to the Surgery Appointment ($25), or
  - Upload a picture of a current rabies vaccine certificate when booking the appointment, or
  - Text a picture of the certificate to 219-240-6228 (M-F 8am-3 pm).
Weight Limit:
- We currently have appointments available for dogs up to 65lbs.

Brachycephalic Breeds:
- We are no longer booking surgeries for brachycephalic breeds (English and French Bulldogs, Boston Terriers, Pugs, Shar-pei, and other short-nosed breeds). We recommend booking at a full-service veterinary hospital due to their specialized needs.
Doberman Pinscher Breed:
- We do not perform surgeries on Doberman Pinschers due to their genetic bleeding disorder. Owners are encouraged to book at a full-service veterinary hospital.
Boxer
- Boxers can be genetically predisposed to a heart condition that affects our anesthetic protocol. While we are able to change the protocol, seeing as they are more prone to complications, we recommend booking at a full service hospital as they are best equipped to monitor these patients in an emergency.

It is the owner's responsibility to disclose any preexisting conditions their animal has before booking the appointment.
Owners must disclose if their pet has been bitten or has bitten another animal or person and broken skin within the 10 days leading up to surgery. In such cases, the surgery must be rescheduled.

While measures are taken to minimize exposure to airborne pathogens, animals may still be exposed to airborne diseases.
The responsibility for any care or treatment for non-vaccinated animals experiencing symptoms not related to the surgical procedure falls on the consenting owner.

We recommend adding services and vaccinating your animals at the time of surgery. Available services include annual vaccines, heartworm testing, heartworm prevention, microchipping, nail trim, ear cleaning, and flea and tick prevention (additional monthly doses available to go home).
