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 full-service veterinary providers.
What does that mean? That means we provide preventative care and treatment for a limited number of conditions. If your local Emancipet clinic does not offer a veterinary service you need for your pet, we are happy to refer you to a full-service provider in your area.

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.
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.

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.

Expression of a pet’s anal glands is a process where a vet or technician will squeeze the gland to release the built up fluid and prevent infection and discomfort.
