Spay/Neuter Prices
All dogs are weighed at check-in. If your dog’s weight category is incorrect, you’ll be charged the difference, as we have limited space for each size group.
All dogs are sent home with 5 days of pain medication at no extra charge. All pets receive injectable pain control before and after surgery.
Our program was created to make essential veterinary care accessible for people in financial need. Since purchasing from a breeder generally indicates a higher ability to afford standard veterinary services, we include a small fee to help ensure our nonprofit resources remain available to those who need them most.
Cats must be house cats. Barn or feral cats not accepted. All pets receive injectable pain control before and after surgery.

Tattoo
Every pet spayed or neutered at our clinic will receive a small, green tattoo next to their incision, to let future caregivers know that the pet no longer has internal reproductive organs. In the event the pet is ever lost or rehomed, a tattoo can help a pet avoid unnecessary, invasive surgery.
Dogs are sent home with 5 days of pain medication
Here is a link to post-op care instructions
You should allow between 2.5 to 3.5 hours from your drop-off time.

Feral cats are those that cannot be safely handled by unfamiliar people. Unfortunately, we are not equipped to care for cats that are not accustomed to human interaction

Under Oregon law, a dog that has permanent canine teeth or that is six months of age or older must be inoculated against rabies. Although rabies vaccination for cats is not a requirement by law, FIXbend requires current rabies vaccination for all pets (dogs and cats) 3 months or older.
The clinic can be a highly stressful environment for your pet. Should your pet accidentally bite someone and not be up to date on her/his rabies vaccine Deschutes county will require that your pet be quarantined, possibly at the humane society, for 10 days or more to ensure they do not have rabies (whether or not they are an indoor or outdoor cat). This can be expensive for you and tremendously stressful for your pet and family.
The requirement is also for the safety and peace of mind of our FIXbend volunteers who would be required to seek medical care in case of a bite (and would be required to get a rabies vaccination if the pet who bit them is not vaccinated).
