A Smart Investment in Your Dog’s Health
Neuter surgery for male dogs removes the testicles, preventing reproduction and reducing hormone-driven behaviors. Neutering 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
Cost Expectations
Our dog neuter pricing is by weight, as larger dogs require additional medication and anesthesia. All pricing includes physical examination, anesthesia, surgery, and pain medications during surgery.
- 2-40 lbs – $140
- 40-60 lbs – $160
- 60-80 lbs – $190
- 80-100 lbs – $230
- 100-120 lbs – $260
- 120 lbs + – $300
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 recovery 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.
Additional charges may apply for the following:
- Cryptorchid (undescended testicle) – $50-$200 – This can occur in any breed, but is more common in certain breeds like Bulldogs and Boxers. This condition can lead to health issues, including increased risk of testicular cancer. The treatment typically involves surgical removal of the undescended testicle(s).
- Cerenia injection – $40 for less than 50 lbs; $60 for 50 lbs and up – 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.
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).
