Dog Spay Vet Recommendations

I went here to get my dogs dental stuff done and it was the price that attracted me - my dog was given to me in such a rough state like she had just woken up and the anesthesia definitely hadn’t fully worn off ( like literally woken up 20 min previous to my arrival )- I personally wont be returning there ever . I’ve had great experiences with the humane society and the prices there are great. The wait list can sometimes be long though

Thanks for your feedback and sorry to hear about your bad experience. I reached out to this place yesterday Humberwood Animal Hospital (www.spayneutertoronto.com) and got quoted $295 +tax which included the pre-op exam, surgery and anesthetic, one antibiotic injection, one 24h pain injection and take-home pain medication. They also can supply the e-collar cone for $15. Going to read up some reviews on them as well but if anyone has first hand experience good or bad I would love to hear about it.

I had my French Bulldog spayed there in 2016 and they did a great job. My dog hated the e-collar cone and knocked it off. Luckily she's a bulldog so didn't seem to know she could lick down there after, so I didn't have to use it. You might want to get a soft e-collar for your dog if your dog is more flexible

Thanks for your feedback Bull Dog. I am waiting to hear back from this place in Richmond Hill which I heard lots of positive feedback from on their facebook page. Some people from out of town like Collingwood are coming in to this place too.

Prices look good at that site ! Plus it got 4.4 in Google reviews vs 4.2 for weldrick animal hospital in Google reviews. Only strange thing I saw is that they quote price of a 1 yr rabies vaccine shot, which is strange, because it's much better for your dog to get the 3 yr rabies shot every 3 yr. Supposedly it's the same vaccine.

Cheapest would be to go to SPCA at Stouffville or Barrie Locations I couldn't go since my dog was older plus a bulldog.

The OSPCA is great, prices are great and so are the staff. The big issue is the waitlist. They are so backed up, it can take anywhere from 6-8 months. (for puppies).

I'd recommend waiting till 1 yr of age to avoid different kinds of cancer and hip dysplasia.

Yeah. It really depends on the breed. On larger dogs. Wait till they are at least a year. Smaller dogs can be sooner. Anyways if you are to sign up with OSPCA, make sure to remember the waitlist is long and plan ahead and apply early.

Personally, I would go to the vet that my dog regularly visits. But that is just me. He knows them, likes them and I feel very confident with their care.

So we had our puppy Maple spayed last Friday at the Leslie Street Animal Hospital. Everything went well and Dr. Alex was great at answering all my questions and concerns regarding the procedure. He also offered an additional 10% discount on his $299 spay which included all IV fluids. pain meds and cone. I brought Maple in the day before to do the optional $70 pre-op blood work. I asked Dr. Alex if it was necessary and he recommended it because the spay is a bit more invasive compared to a neuter as he will be cutting into the abdomen. He also extended the discount on this too which was nice of him. So Maple has been doing great since we brought her home and doesn't appear to be on much pain or discomfort. She is more annoyed at the cone than anything


So if anyone is looking to spay or neuter their dog or cat I would recommend Dr. Alex at the Leslie Street Animal Hospital.
