At Valley Pet Surgery +, we provide safe, affordable dog spay procedures in a setting designed around efficiency, transparency, and compassionate care. As a family-owned, veterinarian-operated clinic, we understand how important it is to have access to quality care you can trust, without unnecessary costs or confusion.
Our team focuses exclusively on surgical and preventative services, allowing us to deliver consistent, high-quality results while keeping pricing straightforward and accessible.
A Smart Investment in Your Dog’s Health
Spay surgery for female dogs removes the ovaries and uterus, eliminating the risk of pregnancy. Spaying plays a major role in your dog’s long-term well-being. Beyond preventing unwanted litters, these procedures can reduce the risk of certain medical conditions and help improve behavior over time.
Many pet owners also notice:
- Fewer hormone-driven behaviors
- Reduce the likelihood of roaming or marking
- Lower risk of reproductive-related health issues (i.e. testicular cancer, prostate issues)
Cost Expectations
Our dog spay pricing is by weight, as larger dogs require additional medication and anesthesia.
- 2-40 lbs – $160
- 40-60 lbs – $180
- 60-80 lbs – $220
- 80 lbs-100 lbs – $270
- 100 – 120 lbs – $310
- 120 lbs + – $350
All dogs are required to have an E-collar (cone) or surgery recovery suit after surgery to prevent licking and chewing of the incision. E-collars are an additional $20 (Surgery suits $30) and are mandatory unless you bring a properly fitting e-collar or surgery recovery suit with you at the time of pickup. All dogs are also required to have Take Home Pain Meds ($20). Additionally, sedatives ($15) for energetic and/or large male dogs may be recommended.
Cerenia injection – $40 for less than 50 lbs; $60 for 50 lbs and up – This is required for flat-faced dogs (English & French Bulldogs, Pugs, Shih Tzus, etc.) This is an anti-nausea medication given to help decrease the risk of breathing complications secondary to vomiting. This is an optional add-on for other breeds.
In some instances, additional charges may apply for the following conditions due to increased surgical time and medications associated with the surgery:
Enlarged Uterus ($25-$50)
Depending on hormonal influence, the uterus may be significantly enlarged during certain times. The uterus may become enlarged prior to visible signs of heat (bleeding/enlarged vulva). Additionally, the uterus may stay enlarged (swollen, larger blood supply, fragile) for up to 3 months following active bleeding. If you prefer to reschedule based on this information, please give us ample notice (no less than 1 week). The best and safest time to spay your female dog is prior to the first heat cycle or 3 months after visible signs of heat as the uterus will have time to return to normal size. We realize this timing is not always possible which is why we offer this service.
Pregnancy ($50-$150)
If your female dog is discovered to be pregnant at the time of surgery, the surgery will result in loss of pregnancy. If you are concerned about the possibility of pregnancy, we recommend you visit your regular vet to have x-rays or an ultrasound performed prior to surgery. We are unable to definitively determine pregnancy or stage of pregnancy at our clinic prior to surgery. We will not be able to discontinue surgery once it has begun. In these cases, we administer fluids in recovery to restore blood volume and help anesthetic recovery. An IV catheter and fluids are required for later term pregnancies ($50).
Pre-surgery Preparation – Your dog should not have any food after 10pm the night before surgery but water should be available. Dogs 4 months or younger can have a small snack (1/4 of their normal meal) the morning of surgery, but all other dogs should not eat until the evening of the surgery.
The drop-off time at the clinic the day of surgery is between 6:15am and 7:30am.
Post-surgery Recovery – You will be contacted by us when your pet is ready to be released post-surgery. We typically close at 4:00pm so pick up will be prior to that.
When you take your pet home from surgery, they may be groggy for 12 to 24 hours due to the surgical anesthesia. To help your pet recover as quickly and painlessly as possible at home, we recommend the following:
- After 6pm the evening of surgery, you can offer your pet 1/4 to 1/2 their normal food amount and water.
- Administer the 3 day supply of take home pain medication as directed.
- Restrict your dog’s activity over the next 10 to 14 days. It is important your dog stay calm and dry over the recuperation period-no running, jumping, swimming, bathing/grooming or licking. Restricting activity with other pets during this time is also recommended.
- Your pet should wear the e-collar or surgery suit for 10 to 14 days post-surgery to minimize the risk of infection from licking or chewing and to protect the stitches.
- You should check their incision at least twice a day watching for redness and swelling as well as any discharge or bleeding.
- We provide a sheet of Surgery Aftercare Instructions which details additional post-surgery information. If any question or concerns, please reach out to us via phone (480 851 2065) or email (info@valleypetsurgery.com).
