Reduced cost spay and neuter surgery and animal wellness services are available at the Pasadena Spay-Neuter/Wellness Clinic. Wellness services include vaccinations, flea and tick preventative, heartworm testing and preventative, and microchipping. Wellness clinic services are provided for healthy animals only. We are not able to provide care for sick or injured animals, and we do not euthanize (put to sleep) sick or injured animals. It is very important for animal guardians to establish a relationship with a private veterinarian who provides services for animals when they become sick or injured. By patronizing the SNAP Spay-Neuter and Animal Wellness clinic you enable SNAP to subsidize spaying and neutering for other animals.
Standard of Care:
SNAP believes that all animals should receive the highest quality veterinary care possible, regardless of whether the services rendered are for free or at reduced-cost. All SNAP facilities use state of the art instruments and equipment. All spay/neuter surgeries are performed by qualified doctors of veterinary medicine, and all animals entrusted to SNAP are attended to before and after surgery by trained veterinary technicians.
What to Expect:
Spay-Neuter Surgery: An appointment is required to have your animal spayed or neutered. Please use the link for our online appointment request system that you will find near the top of the page to schedule an appointment for your cat or dog. Animal intake is between 7:30 a.m. and 8:30 a.m. Please do not be late. Expect a 30-40 minute wait as of all the animals scheduled for surgery that day are checked-in simultaneously.
Wellness Services: Wellness services are provided on a first-come, first-serve basis. No appointment is required. Waiting times can vary, but during peak times, clients can wait as long as 2 hours before a veterinarian can see your animal.
Restraining your Animal:
Upon arrival, all dogs and cats should be restrained by a leash or in a carrier. Cats may be contained in a pillow case.
Vaccination Policies:
Current rabies vaccination is required for all dogs and cats. If your animal has been vaccinated against rabies, a valid vaccination certificate must be provided. Unvaccinated animals and animals without proof of current rabies vaccinations will be vaccinated against rabies at the owner's expense. Other vaccinations are not required by law but are strongly recommended.
Payment of Services:
Payment must be made when services are rendered. We accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express, and cash. The clinic does not accept checks.
Pick-up Time:
Once surgical procedures are completed and after full recovery from anesthesia, animals are discharged from the clinic the same day as surgery. For the safety of surgery patients, no overnight stays are permitted.
Feral Cats:
No appointment is necessary. Please bring the feral cat in a humane trap. (A standard cat carrier or trap will not suffice. If you are not sure what constitutes a humane trap, please contact us before attempting to trap an animal.) Only one cat per trap is permitted. All feral cats will have the tip of their left ear notched while under anesthesia for surgery. Ear notching is an indication that a feral cat has been spayed or neutered.
