Ontario SPCA Appointment Booking and Cancellation Policy
Ontario SPCA Appointment Booking and Cancellation Policy
To ensure efficient scheduling and to accommodate the high volume of requests, the Ontario SPCA requires a deposit at the time of booking to secure all appointments. This policy applies to both wellness and spay/neuter (S/N) services.
Cancellation fee
The cancellation fee is:
- Wellness Appointments: $25
- Spay/Neuter Appointments: $100 (Cats and Dogs)
Cancellations
Appointment cancellations that are made seven (7) or more days ahead of the scheduled appointment date are eligible for a full refund of your booking deposit. Clients may request to reschedule their appointment to a future date, and their initial deposit will be transferred to this future booking.
Appointment cancellations that are made less than seven (7) days ahead of the scheduled appointment date will receive a refund less a cancellation fee. Clients may request to reschedule their appointment to a future date but will be subject to a cancellation fee.
Declines
It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure all pre-surgical instructions are followed and that the animal meets the criteria for service.
A cancelation fee will be applied if your animal is turned away on the day of the procedure for any of the following reasons:
- Failure to follow pre-surgical instructions (e.g., not fasting), or
- The animal does not meet the Ontario SPCA’s medical or eligibility criteria.
All refunds will be at the discretion of the clinic manager

Dental Services for Rescue Organizations
We are excited to announce that we are now offering dental services to partner/rescue organizations! This aims to provide an accessible dental service to animals that come into their care. For more information, please email wellness@ontariospca.ca
Vaccines
It is recommended that you have your pet vaccinated at least two weeks prior to your spay/neuter appointment. Animals that have been vaccinated previously should be accompanied by proof of vaccination. Should you be unable to have this done in advance, vaccines can also be given at the time of surgery. We recommend that your pet have the following vaccines: Rabies vaccine (3 year), Feline Leukemia vaccine, FVRCP vaccine and DA2PP vaccine.
*Note: It is a legal requirement and strongly recommended that ALL animals be vaccinated for rabies regardless of whether or not they go outside. If your animal is currently vaccinated for rabies, proof of vaccination should accompany your pet at the time of surgery.
Microchip
A microchip provides your pet with a unique, permanent form of identification. All shelters and many vet offices have the ability to read microchips, and your animal would be returned to you safely and quickly should it become lost.
E-Collars and Surgical Onesies
We STRONGLY recommend that all animals be deterred from licking their surgical sites through the use of Elizabethan collars (e-collars) or surgical onesies. If your animal does lick, they can open their incision or cause infection, incurring additional veterinary costs.
E-collars can be purchased the morning of surgery. (Note: If you choose to purchase your e-collar from a pet store, please ensure that when pushed back against your pet’s shoulders, the collar extends at least 1″ past his/her nose).
Surgical Onesies can also be purchased on the morning of surgery.
Payment
A deposit is due at the time of booking in order to obtain an appointment. Credit card payments can be made over the phone, and debit/Visa-debit/cash payments can be made in person, at our offices. Money orders can also be mailed, made payable to the Ontario SPCA (please include your phone number on the money order).

Ontario SPCA Mobile Wellness Services and MASH-style spay/neuter clinics
Thanks to a Pet Valu Companions for Change™ sponsorship of $175,000, the Ontario SPCA launched its SPCA Mobile Animal Wellness Services Unit in 2019, delivering wellness examinations and spay/neuter services to underserved communities. This year, Pet Valu provided an additional $150,000 Companions for Change™ sponsorship which will be used to support the Mobile Animal Wellness Services Unit over the next three years. With the help of generous donations from devoted pet lovers across the country, since 2018, Pet Valu’s Companions for Change™ sponsorships have helped animal rescues and charities across Canada achieve larger capital projects.
