Before your appointment
What’s included, how to book, and how to prepare.
Does the spay/neuter price cover anesthesia and pain medication?
All spay/neuter pricing includes the procedure, general anesthesia, and 3 days of pain medication.
How can I schedule spay, neuter, or vaccine appointments?
Schedule spay, neuter, and vaccine appointments in the client portal
You can schedule new spay, neuter, and vaccine appointments through the GAVC client portal: Open the booking portal
When vaccine appointments are full
If vaccine appointments aren’t loading in the portal, the available slots have been booked. More vaccine appointments open over time, so check back daily.
How should I prepare my pet for surgery or dental?
Food and water timing before surgery
Before surgery:
- No food after 10pm, except for younger kittens and puppies.
- Younger kittens and puppies may have a small meatball or teaspoon of food first thing in the morning.
- Water is okay until morning.
Bathroom break before drop-off
Please give your pet a chance to go potty before drop-off, as they’re unlikely to have an opportunity during their stay.
Morning medications
Unless your veterinarian has given different instructions, thyroid medications, seizure medications, amlodipine, and antibiotics can be given with no food or with a very small amount of food just coating the pills. Please tell us at check-in if you gave any medications.
Spay/neuter drop-off
For spay or neuter, drop off your pet at your booked appointment time.
Arrival check-in
Once you arrive in the lobby, check in through www.gavccolorado.com.
Online paperwork and add-ons
If you haven’t completed the paperwork, you’ll be asked to fill it out online at check-in. The form may include add-ons such as vaccines or nail trims. It also offers blood testing and IV catheter placement. These are useful add-ons, though many clients choose not to add them unless they have concerns about their pet, such as older age.
Brachycephalic pets and Cerenia
Flat-faced (brachycephalic) pets, such as pugs and bulldogs, may benefit from Cerenia, an anti-vomiting medication. It’s an add-on to discuss at surgery or dental check-in, rather than a requirement for every pet.
Dental drop-off
Dental drop-off is between 8:00am and 8:30am.
