The Fort Erie Spay & Neuter Clinic with basic care is a low-cost/high-volume spay and neuter clinic located in Fort Erie, Ontario. The clinic opened in 2024 to provide accessible, high-quality, and affordable surgical/basic care services to combat pet overpopulation. Our goal is to provide local and affordable veterinary services for those with financial constraints. 

Surgery is performed by our licensed veterinarians, anesthesia is provided by our skilled registered veterinary technicians, and post operative care if offered by our entire team. Our services are available to all members of the public. We offer core vaccinations, microchipping, and post- operative pain medication at time of surgery. We offer basic vaccination and deworming appointments, please EMAIL technician@forteriespca.ca to request an appointment.

Appointments must be pre-booked online through the "book an appointment" page on this website. Please review the eligibility criteria below to ensure your pet meets the requirements prior to requesting and appointment. To submit an appointment request form, please click here.

All surgeries are performed at the discretion of the veterinarian on the morning of surgery.

A declined fee equal to 50% of the surgery fee paid will be charged if the pre-operative instructions or physical parameters are not met.
