How to Save on Veterinary Costs at Northwest Spay & Neuter Center

Preventive care

Routine wellness exams can help identify health issues early, often before they become more serious or expensive to treat. Regular checkups are one of the most effective ways to manage long term veterinary costs.

Kind and caring staff. Hello Pitty Rescue set us up through the Responsi-Bull program on 8/17/23 and they took such good care of Pitato Potato the Canine Tornado. I am sure he is going to heal up well and I'll post more photos when he is fully recovered Thank you

Had a great experience here! Even though my cat is literally the span of Satan at 7 months old, they did their best with her and even sent her home in a more comfortable crate. (Aparetntly didn't like hers anymore.). Andrea was a huge help making sure my kitten was getting all of her needed vaccines and after care medications and cone. *pic because she wouldn't wear said cone, so now she gets a baby jammies. She is healing well and happy. Thanks again.

I really love this place, the staff are so friendly and welcoming also very helpful. They have been my go to for my fury BESTIE all his life. I wouldn’t have it any other way. They give him his shots and his flea meds, trim his nails they even give a basic health exam. If it wasn’t for the staff checking on well being I would have never new how bad my baby’s gums and teeth are. I am also very greatful to them becouse I have gotten sometimes when I can’t buy my dog any food and they were right there helping me out and giving me food for him I HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND NORTHWEST SPAY AND NEUTER TO ANYONE WHO LOVES THERE FURY BABYS AS MUCH I DO. These 2 pictures are the same dog how big and old he was when we first went 101/2 weeks and now 10 yrs old

I just dropped my baby Pancake at NW Spay and Neuter. They've always done amazing with my fur babies. They're costs are much less than taking him to his vet for things like Neuters and Spays. They love your babies and even play with them like they're family. Thank you for all that you. A loyal supporter of your cause.

I just got my 8 month old cat 🐱 Casper neutered here , it was pretty fast! The key is to go on the website at midnight 🕛 or late to book a neuter/ spay appointment. I booked last week Friday and got in on Monday for his surgery. My cat originally had an appointment with his vet at ban-field, but it was over $300 just to get him fixed and I was not going to pay that! It’s $115 here which is a very low cost compared to other vets and clinics ! It was a $45 deposit and $70 for the neuter which is $115 in total , super great value if you ask me. I followed instructions through the email confirmation after my appointment was booked . Make sure to come in early since parking is full , check in and drop off for animals vary by last name, the check in process was fast and they do offer other services but it’s up to you if you want to pay for them or not. Casper is doing great and eating and drinking! Thank you 🙏🏾
