You must have an appointment. Please call (337) 264-1088 to
schedule your pet for surgery.
Kittens must be at least 2 lbs and 8 weeks old for
surgery.
Puppies must be at least 12 weeks old for surgery.
Check-in time is 8:00 a.m. sharp. We adhere to a very
strict surgery schedule that must be followed; please arrive on
time for check-in.
When you arrive please stay in your car, we will come to you to
inform you of the check in process.
Feral or Community cats should be dropped off between 8:30am
and 9:00am.
Although it is not required, we recommend that for your
pet's protection, you have your pet vaccinated at your own
veterinarian at least two weeks prior to surgery (unless he or
she is up to date already). If you choose not to vaccinate
prior to the surgery, we do offer low cost vaccinations here
(DHPP and Bordatella for dogs, FVRCP for cats), which we will
give at your request at the time of surgery only.
Please ensure that animals 4 months and older do not eat
any food after 12:00 midnight the night before surgery. Animals
younger than 4 months may have food until 6:00 a.m. the morning
of surgery. All animals must be brought indoors or confined
with no access to food the night before the surgery.
When you arrive at the center, please keep your pet in your
car until you have completed the necessary admission form
(available in holders outside the front door or from our staff
in the front lobby).
Louisiana state law requires that all dogs and cats 12
weeks of age (3 months) or older have a current Rabies
vaccination. If your pet does not have a current Rabies
vaccine, we will administer it at the time of surgery. If your
pet does have a current Rabies vaccine (given within one year
of date of surgery), please bring a copy of the Rabies
Certificate (given to you by the veterinarian who administered
the vaccine). We cannot accept a tag as proof of vaccination;
you must bring the Certificate or a copy of it.
All dogs must be on a secure, short leash or in a carrier.
Cats must be in a carrier.
We take cash, credit/debit cards (with a 3% transaction
fee), or money orders. We do not accept checks.
Full payment is due when you pick up your pet.
Please ensure your pet is free of fleas before bringing
him/her for surgery. For the protection of your pet, other
animals at the center, and our staff, if your pet has fleas, we
will administer a flea treatment which will kill the fleas and
will be effective for approximately 24 hours. If we have to
administer treatment to rid your pet of fleas, there will be a
mandatory $5 charge, which will be added to the cost of the
surgery and is due when you pick up your pet.
Our veterinarians perform a general physical exam of every
patient prior to surgery. The exam does not include bloodwork
or x-rays. Our veterinarians reserve the right to refuse
service to any animal for whom surgery is deemed a health
risk.
