We aim to make quality spay/neuter affordable to all clients. We have tiered pricing to ensure care is accessible to everyone, regardless of financial circumstances. Tier One pricing is available to all pet owners. Tier Two pricing is available to owners who receive food stamps (SNAP/LINK), Social Security Disability (SSD/SSI), or VA disability benefits. We must have proof of your benefits, along with a photo ID prior to your pet's appointment. Please make certain you bring all necessary documents the morning of your pet's appointment or email them to clinic@qcawc.org the night before to ensure proper invoicing.

We require all animals 5 years and older to be scheduled for pre-surgical bloodwork within a month of their surgery date. The cost for this pre-surgical blood work test is $60.

Rabies Vaccine: We require all animals to be current on a rabies vaccine. If your pet has received a rabies vaccine prior to his/her appointment, please attach a copy of proof when scheduling or bring it the morning of the appointment. If your pet needs a rabies vaccination, add “Rabies 1 year” to the list of services when prompted.
