Our Services & Pricing
Our Central Austin vet clinic provides two different types of low-cost veterinary services for your pets:
- Low Cost Spay/Neuter Services – these surgeries require an appointment
- Healthy Pet Services – these are our preventative services (like vaccinations) and are offered on a walk-in basis (first-come, first-served) during business hours
We are not a full-service veterinary clinic and do not treat sick or injured pets.
Please note, we are not a full-service veterinary clinic meaning we do not treat sick or injured pets. This includes chronic diseases, infections, coughing, sneezing, vomiting, diarrhea, wounds, or other injuries and if your pet is not eating or drinking normally. We do however specialize in spay/neuter surgery and preventative care like vaccinations, microchips, and other services. For a comprehensive list of Emancipet services see below.

We promise to always do our best to keep prices as low as possible and to keep price lists as up-to-date as possible. We ask for your understanding if and when it becomes necessary to change or increase prices. We also ask for your patience as it may occasionally take a few days or longer to update our materials so that they reflect our most current pricing.
Spay/Neuter Surgery – Dogs
Our low-cost spay and neuter surgeries do require an appointment. Please check out our pricing below, or our helpful FAQ guide if you have specific questions.

All female dogs.
How to schedule?
Click below to request an appointment.
What’s it do? Why should I do it?
Healthy dogs can be spayed as young as 3 months, if they are over 3 pounds in body weight.
Spaying helps prevent uterine infections, breast tumors, and pregnancy. Spaying your pet before her first heat offers the best protection from these diseases, and can help your female pet live a longer, healthier life.
Additional Cost for Emergency Spays: Pyometra or Dystocia
If you are booking an emergency spay with us (specifically a pyometra and dystocia) those surgeries are $150.
Please Note
Emancipet veterinarians are highly skilled clinicians and surgeons. However, we do want to make sure you’re well aware of any risk that applies to your pet. If your pet’s procedure is considered high risk, you will be asked to sign a form acknowledging the elevated risk. If you have any questions, please ask our clinic staff when you check your pet in for their appointment.
Who’s it for?
All male dogs.

What’s it do? Why should I do it?
Healthy dogs can be neutered as young as 3 months, if they are over 3 pounds in body weight.
Neutering eliminates the possibility of testicular cancer and greatly reduces the chance of prostate disease, two extremely common and serious problems of older male dogs. Neutering can also reduce the risk of perianal tumors and perineal hernias. If a dog is neutered before it reaches puberty, some unwanted behaviors may be prevented such as urine marking, aggression and sexual behaviors. Most dogs reach puberty around 8 months of age.
