Our Norwood Veterinary Clinic, located on the Northside of Jacksonville (conveniently located right off I-95 at exit 358), is one of the largest spay and neuter clinic in the country. Spaying or neutering pets lowers the number of unwanted puppies and kittens entering the shelters each year. We know spay/neuter is the one sure way to end the needless killing of cats and dogs in shelters.
Schedule your spay or neuter appointment by phoning our call center at 904-425-0005, ext 2, any day of the week from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm.
Why Spay and Neuter?
There are many medical and behavioral benefits to having a fixed pet in your home. Getting your pet fixed can make everyone’s life a lot easier. Here are just a few benefits of spaying or neutering your household pet:
Benefits of Spaying (females):
- No heat cycles, therefore males will not be attracted
- Less desire to roam
- Risk of mammary gland tumors, ovarian and/or uterine cancer is reduced or eliminated, especially if done before the first heat cycle
- Reduces the number of unwanted cats/kittens/dogs/puppies
- Helps dogs and cats live longer, healthier lives
Benefits of Neutering (males):
- Reduces or eliminates risk of spraying and marking
- Less desire to roam, therefore less likely to be injured in fights or auto accidents
- Risk of testicular cancer is eliminated and decreases incidence of prostate disease
- Reduces the number of unwanted cats/kittens/dogs/puppies
- Decreases aggressive behavior, including dog bites
- Helps dogs and cats live longer, healthier lives

Post-Surgery Care Instructions for Your Pet
Please watch this short video about caring for your pet after their surgery.
Your animal may need an e-collar if she/he is licking or chewing at the incision site. These are available for purchase at our clinics on the day of surgery. You may also obtain at either your primary veterinarians’ office or a local pet store. Your animal must be kept indoors and on low activity for 10 days following surgery. Dogs may go out for short, supervised leash walks to use the bathroom during that time. Your animal can not have a bath for 10 days after surgery. We recommend bathing and/or grooming your pet prior to the day of surgery if he/she is used to a regular grooming schedule.
