IMPORTANT:
1. Northland Spay/Neuter Clinic requires your dog or cat to be at least 8 weeks old and weigh 2 pounds before having the surgery. 2. Pets who are 12 weeks or older must have a current rabies vaccination. (See Vaccinations below for details.) 2. If your pet is between 8 and 12 weeks, they can have the surgery, but you will need to get their rabies vaccination from a veterinarian later. 3. Animals over 4 months old must have no food after midnight the night before surgery. Animals younger than 4 months can have food until 6 am. All animals can have water. 4. Keep your pet indoors and/or confined the night before surgery. Pets must not be out where they can eat, which could potentially be dangerous during surgery. In addition, they will be easy to find in the morning! 5. Your pet must be brought in a secure, hard-sided crate/carrier, one crate per adult animal. No soft or wire crates. |
Vaccinations
*ALL ANIMALS 12 WEEKS OLD OR OLDER MUST HAVE A CURRENT RABIES VACCINATION*
You will need to bring a copy (to send with your pet) of a current rabies vaccination certificate (not a tag) when you bring your animal in unless you are having your animal vaccinated at the time of the surgery.
If your pet is between 8 and 12 weeks, they can have the surgery, but you will need to get their rabies vaccination from a veterinarian later.
It is recommended that pets be current on vaccinations prior to their surgery since it takes 2 weeks to become fully effective. If it is not possible to vaccinate the pet ahead of time, rabies, distemper and bordetella vaccinations are available at the time of surgery for an extra fee.
