F.A.Q.
F.A.Q.
What time do I need to be at the clinic?
Depending on whether you are bringing a dog or a cat, we will schedule a time for you to arrive, usually between 8 am and 10:00 am.
When and how do I pay?
We accept cash or checks (checks preferred) made payable to "AFEW". Payment can be made when picking your pet up after surgery.
May I stay with my pet?
While dog owners need to remain with their dogs until they go in for surgery, please leave us a phone number where you can be reached when your pet has awakened from anesthesia and is ready to go home. We ask that owners not stay during surgery and recovery so pets can be monitored and recover quietly without noise and distractions.
Can my pets nails be trimmed and ears cleaned during surgery?
Please understand that this is not a full service veterinary clinic, rather a low-cost clinic solely for the purpose of spaying and neutering. We regret that additional services are not available.
When will my pet be ready?
We are not able to give an exact time. The veterinary staff takes pets in for surgery according to how their schedule works most efficiently, not based on who arrives first. You can expect a call from us, usually around 1 pm - 3 pm, depending on how many animals are scheduled for the day. We will call you when your pet is ready to be picked up.
Will I need to have my pet's sutures removed?
There will be no need to have sutures removed. Absorbable sutures are used which will dissove over time. Should you have your pet at the veterinarian more than 2 weeks after surgery and the sutures are still there, you can ask your vet to remove the sutures. Male cats do not have sutures.
