The Ontario SPCA and Humane Society is committed to supporting pet guardians and community animal welfare efforts through accessible spay/neuter services.

Who is eligible for our services:

• Pet guardians from the general public seeking spay/neuter procedures for their personal companion animals
• Registered animal rescue organizations working to reduce pet overpopulation

Who is not eligible for our services:

Breeders, pet-related businesses, or individuals seeking services for animals intended for sale or commercial use.

We do not perform spay surgeries on dogs while they are in heat. 

While it is ideal to wait until a cat has finished her heat cycle before performing a spay surgery, cats have more cycles than dogs, so it is not always possible to time a spay procedure when the cat is not in heat.

To promote healing and minimize postoperative complications, it is recommended that your pet wear an Elizabethan collar (e-collar) or a onesie for 7 to 10 days post-surgery. 

Your pet will be able to eat and drink while wearing the Elizabethan collar (e-collar). Moving their bowls away from the wall will help ensure easier access.

It is very important that you limit your pet’s activity for 14 days post-surgery. No running, jumping, playing, swimming, bathing or other strenuous activity for 14 days after surgery. Pets must be kept indoors where they can stay clean, dry, and warm. Do not bathe your pet during the recovery period. Dogs must be walked on a leash, and cats must be kept inside. Any strenuous activity could disrupt this healing process. 

The medications that they were sent home with need to be given to manage their pain and keep them comfortable. It is recommended that you follow the medication instructions provided at the time your pet was discharged from our clinic.

If you need to pick up your pet, gently scoop them up, with your hands cradling their back end and front end, trying not to put pressure on their abdomen. 

Unless you are told otherwise, your pet does not have external sutures, so there is no need for suture removal. All sutures on the inside are absorbable, and the very outer layer of skin is held together with water-soluble surgical glue. Do not clean or apply a topical ointment to the incision site. If you are told that your pet has skin sutures or skin staples, they will need to return in 7-10 days to have those removed. Male cats do not have any sutures.

On the first Monday of every month, we will open bookings for that month at both Ontario SPCA and Humane Society spay/neuter locations. Spots are available for both cats AND dogs. Be sure to visit this page on the first Monday of every month, where a link to our registration page will be posted. The registration forms open at 10 a.m. Spaces will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. 

Due to overwhelming demand, booking availability fills up within MINUTES of registration opening each month. If you do not receive an email within 30 minutes of submitting your form (check your junk or spam folders), then your registration was not accepted, and you will need to try again next month. We appreciate your patience, as the demand for spay/neuter services is greater than the number of surgery appointments we have available.
