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.

A very sweet Happy Homes! 🐾
"Charlie is doing great in his new home! After having to say goodbye to our last dog in September `23, we met Charlie in February and fell instantly in love. He’s a big, smart, playful, high-energy pupper! It took a few months for him to really get comfortable with us, but now he’s happy and settled in. He loves playing fetch in the yard, keeping watch for squirrels and pedestrians, and snoozing with his people. We’re so happy that this sweet, beautiful boy is part of our lives!"

Teaching your dog to walk with you comfortably is an all-important step if you want to take your dog with you anywhere. Whether it’s a walk on a hiking trail or around a busy city, knowing you can easily walk your dog without worrying they will pull is important! That’s why we teach loose leash walking. A loose leash walk is defined a walk where there is no tension on the leash.
