What is the difference between the BC SPCA Kamloops Spay Neuter Clinic and a Full-Service Veterinary Hospital?

The BC SPCA Kamloops Spay Neuter Clinic offers lower cost spay and neuter to the public and BC SPCA. By providing affordable options for these procedures, we aim to control the animal population and reduce the number of stray or unwanted pets. PLEASE BE AWARE, UNLIKE A FULL SERVICE CLINIC, WE HAVE A LIMITED ABILITY TO RESPOND TO RARE BUT SEROUS COMPLICATIONS SECONDARY TO ANESTHESIA OR SURGERY. For this reason, we limit our patients to only young healthy animals. Please keep this in mind when choosing our services, as you may prefer to go to a full-service clinic, based on your preferences. We have provided some examples of when we recommend a full-service clinic for your animal’s spay or neuter procedure. To keep costs low, we also do not require bloodwork for our young surgical patients. Bloodwork can help detect underlying issues that may be not be detectable on physical exam and is recommended prior to any anesthesia. If you would like bloodwork, we recommend booking your procedure with a full-service clinic.

Please be aware of the limitations associated with our spay and neuter clinic.

  • We only accept young, healthy animals as surgical candidates
    • Under two years of age and 45kg for dogs
    • Healthy cats of any age, but bloodwork is required for cats over 5 years of age
  • We respond to emails and voicemails within 24 hours Monday to Friday, but do not offer after-hours or weekend veterinary care or hospitalization of animals
  • If your pet has an underlying medical issue that may affect their anesthesia, we will direct you to a full-service clinic or postpone their surgery, as we cannot hospitalize patients and are not staffed after-hours

We recommend going to a full service clinic for your animal’s spay and neuter if

  • Your animal has a pre-existing condition such as a heart murmur, kidney disease, liver disease, respiratory disease or infection that may affect their anesthesia.
  • Your animal is a higher risk for anesthesia:
    • large and giant breed dogs
    • senior pets
    • brachycephalic breeds (pugs, shih tsus, bull dogs, frenchies)
    • obese, in-heat or pregnant mature dogs (please keep in mind most veterinarians will recommend delay of spay of in-heat dogs due to increased risk)
  • You would like an elective procedure at the time of surgery such as:
    • Gastropexy (stomach-tacking to help prevent gastric dilatation and volvulus)
    • Baby tooth removal
    • Dental or orthopedic x-rays
  • You would like access to an after-hours phone line and the ability to hospitalize if any complications arise
  • You would like a clinic with weekend and evening hours for follow up rechecks or questions
