Spay/Neuter Clinic

Affordable Spay/Neuter Clinic

Our spay/neuter clinic is open to the public with safe and convenient curbside drop off and pick up service.

Reduce pet overpopulation and make your loved one healthier

Due to current staffing limitations, our surgical scheduling capacity is reduced, resulting in potentially longer appointment times. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. As an alternative, you may consider scheduling your pet’s surgery at Spay IL, Fox Valley Animal Welfare League, and Snip Society.

The Tails Spay/Neuter clinic is a non-profit surgical clinic that provides high quality, affordable spay/neuter surgeries and preventive care. Our vision is to reduce dog and cat overpopulation so that all pets have a loving home.

Tails recognizes the direct link between the sterilization of pets and the pet overpopulation crisis. Which is why we operate the area’s only affordable spay/neuter clinic. We believe cost should not be a barrier to any pet owner who wants to do their part to help control the pet population.
