Many pets recover from the effects of anesthesia by the following day, but some take up to 48 hours to recover. Most pets are healed from the procedure in 7-10 days. Physical activity should be limited during that time.

Cats and dogs must be at least 8 weeks old and in good physical health to be spayed or neutered.

We also spay/neuter rabbits! They must be at least 4 months old.

Rabies vaccines are the only mandatory vaccination in the state of California. State law dictates dogs older than 3 months must receive the rabies vaccine.
