Frequently Asked Questions

When should I spay or neuter my dog?

Traditional recommendation: 6 months. Current research suggests large/giant breeds may benefit from waiting until 12-18 months for skeletal development. Small breeds: 6 months is usually fine. Discuss timing with your vet based on breed and health.

How long is recovery from spay/neuter?

Neuter: 5-7 days of restricted activity. Spay: 10-14 days of restricted activity. Keep the incision dry and prevent licking (use a cone or recovery suit). Most dogs are back to normal energy in 2-3 days but need restricted activity to allow internal healing.

Why does dog spay / neuter cost different in Lubbock than other cities?

Lubbock's costs reflect local labor rates driven by the diversified economy, varied climate conditions that affect materials and scheduling, and moderate permitting requirements. The balanced labor market also influences competitive pricing.
