Spay and Neuter
What is the surgery?
“Spaying” is the term used for female animals and the surgical removal of the ovaries and uterus. “Neutering” is the term used for male animals and is the surgical removal of the testicles. “Fixing” your pet is another term for spaying/neutering. Your female pet should be spayed before her first heat cycle—which commonly occurs at 5 to 6 months. However, it is never too late to spay or neuter your pet. Spaying or neutering your pet is a very safe procedure. Call us to learn more! 580.767.8877
Good for your pet
Pets that are spayed/neutered have decreased or zero risk of certain types of cancer. Spaying or neutering your pet can decrease the risk of diseases that are expensive to treat Animals that are fixed make better companions because they are not motivated to wander in search of a mate.
Good for you–eliminate annoying behavior problems!
Neutered male cats are significantly less likely to spray (urine-marking) or wander in search of females. Female dogs or cats in heat can cry incessantly, act nervous and attract males from all around. Spaying eliminates the heat cycle. Animals that have been spayed/neutered are less likely to bite, roam or get into fights.
Good for the community
It can cost up to $176 dollars to capture, house and either adopt or euthanize stray and unwanted pets. These are your tax dollars. However, it costs only $30 to $60 to get your animal fixed at our clinic. A compassionate society knows there is a better way to solve overpopulation than needlessly euthanizing unwanted animals.

Low Income Family Spay, Neuter and Vaccination Assistance Programs
In 2006, the Ponca City Humane Society partnered with our local participating veterinarians and started a low cost spay/neuter and vaccination program for families making $45,000/year or less. This successful program is made possible due to the commitment of reducing pet overpopulation, the kind and generous donations of PCHuS supporters and our wonderful veterinarians.
