Q. My pet is in heat. Can she still have surgery?
A. Yes.

Q. My cat has a litter of kittens that are still nursing. Can she have surgery?
A. Cats with a litter can have surgery once the kittens reach 8 weeks of age. Don’t forget, we have a kitten special! Bring in your mama cat to be spayed and we’ll spay/neuter the kittens at no charge! Kittens must be 3 lbs for surgery. Certain conditions apply.

Q. It’s recommended I arrive early. Just how early do I need to arrive?
A. It’s difficult to give an exact time as the number of people that arrive early varies each day. Most clients arrive between 5am and 6:30am.

Q. Do you keep my pet overnight?
A. No. All pets must be picked up the day of surgery. A pick-up time will be announced at load up time.

Q. My pet just needs vaccinations or micro-chipping? Can I have those services done at the Spay Station even though my pet isn't having surgery?
A. No. All "additional services" listed on our fee schedule are only available for pets having surgery on the Spay Station.

Q. How much do services cost?
A. Please see our fee schedule.

Q. When will you be in my area:
A. Please see our Spay Station schedule.

Q. I don't live in Whatcom or Skagit County. Can I still come?
A. Yes!

Q. I have a giant breed adult dog. Can I bring it?
A. We can often make special arrangements. Please call ahead.

Q. How many animals can I bring?
A. General guideline: 1 dog and 2 cats per household per day. You can bring more if space permits (we might not be able to provide service for the extra pets that you bring on a busy day). Except for this daily limit, there is currently no maximum number per household.

Q. Is there an age limit or other requirements for surgery?
A. The doctor has full discretion as far as the acceptability of any particular pet for surgery on the Spay Station. Please read more about this under Bringing a Dog or Bringing a Cat.
