Spay & Neuter
Services
Thousands of pets are spayed or neutered each year at the AWS Community Veterinary Clinic in Kennebunk. In addition to providing surgeries to our resident pets, we offer affordable spay/neuter services for dogs, cats and rabbits belonging to members of our community.
We can spay or neuter your pet
Spay/neuter surgeries are by appointment only and take place Monday – Friday. Pets are dropped off in the morning and picked up the same afternoon. Please visit our pre-op and post-op care page for more information on what to expect on your pet’s surgery day.
We offer a two-tiered pricing system for our spay/neuter services: Community Pricing and our Companion Program, based on income qualifications. Donations to the Companions for Life Fund support the Companion Program.

Kikyo now Oliver:
"I adopted Oliver 6/23. He is the sweetest boy ever! He loves to play fetch with me, play with his brother Snoop doggy dog, beg me for kitty treats and cuddle with me on my chest. He always has to be the center of attention, if I am watching tv instead of paying attention to him he will disconnect the internet. (Yes, he has taught himself how to do that) 🤣
Thank you AWS for making it possible for Snoop and I to enrich our lives with our bestest, beloved Ollie 💕"
