Spay & Neuter
**A Veterinary Hospital can be a very stressful environment. For the safety of your dog and our staff, we require some large breed dogs to take calming medications before coming to their surgery appointment. We will notify you after you make your appointment if your dog requires calming medications for surgery.**
We will be able to discuss the medications used and the process for getting the medications when we confirm your appointment.
If your dog is prescribed calming meds, you must bring in your pet for a weight check within 5 days of requesting an appointment, or the appointment will be canceled and your deposit will be forfeited. All spay/neuter appointments for dogs require a deposit of $50.00, and a deposit of $25.00 for cat surgeries at the time you request the appointment. In the event you do not show up for your appointment, this deposit will be forfeited to our clinic as a donation. This deposit is non-refundable. There is no deposit required for cats. Use the link below to schedule your household pet for spay/neuter surgery. If you wish to bring us a free-roaming/feral cat, please refer to the TNR page instructions here.
**If there are no spay/neuter appointments showing available, please check back every day. Appointment cancellations and new appointment times are released and opened on a daily basis.**
Spay and neuter surgeries are same-day services; check-in for surgery is at 8 am for both cats and dogs. If your pet is on calming meds, please confirm your check-in time. PLEASE ALLOW 45-60 MINUTES FOR THE CHECK-IN PROCESS from your appointment time. Pick-up is the same day, and we will call or text you a pick-up time. All pets will be picked up by 4:00 pm.
Surgery is performed Monday through Friday, by appointment only. Accepted forms of payment: cash, credit or debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Discover), and Care Credit. No checks, please. Payment is due at the time of service. Prices are subject to change without notice.Use this link to schedule your household pet for spay/neuter surgery.

Cancellation and Rescheduling Policy
We are fortunate that our Spay and Neuter Clinic has a high demand for surgery appointments. In order to ensure that every client has fair access to schedule a timely appointment, please consider your schedule when committing to your appointment time. You may designate another person to bring your pet for surgery in the event something arises. This person should be fully aware of your selected type of service for your pet. By signature, they will be giving us authorization on your behalf. Make sure that they have ALL emergency telephone numbers for us to reach you during your animals’ stay with us.
In the event you must reschedule your appointment, please contact us immediately so that we may contact another owner waiting for the appointment time. Contact us at 941-747-8808 Option #1 or email us at clinic@humanemanatee.org
