Having your pet spayed or neutered is part of responsible pet ownership. Not only are these procedures helpful in preventing animal overpopulation, but they also prevent a number of health and behavioral problems for your pet. For instance, spaying a female cat or dog can prevent dangerous uterine infections, while neutering a male can prevent testicular cancer if done before 6 months of age. Animal Medical Center of Mid-America is dedicated to helping pet owners by offering low-cost spay/neuter programs. We believe every pet should have a chance to live a long, happy and healthy life, and spaying and neutering is a great place to start!
We offer low-cost spay and neuter surgeries for the pets of Missouri residents. All pets that are spayed or neutered at our facilities are treated with pain medication and, with a minimal amount of home care, are back to being themselves within a few short days.

Additional Services Available
Pre-Anesthetic Blood Testing
Pre-Anesthetic Blood Testing is recommended for all pets prior to any anesthetic procedure.The purpose of this these tests is to check your pet's internal organs and make sure that these organs are functioning normally prior to surgery. There are several testing options available, which will be discussed when you meet with the doctor.
Microchipping
A microchip is a small computer chip implanted between your pet's shoulder blades. The chip is like a permanent ID tag that can identifying your pet and link them back to you if they are ever lost. The one-time registration fee is included in the cost of the microchip. HomeAgain® TempScan Microchips allow you to update your contact information for the life of your pet without charge. These microchips also allow your veterinarian to take your pet's temperature with the chip scanner instead of an invasive thermometer used for temperature checks. Though implanting the chip is relatively painless, we will microchip your pet while he or she is under anesthesia, so your dog doesn’t experience any discomfort.
Please note, if you choose not to have your dog microchipped, a small tattoo will be given to identify that your pet has been spayed or neutered.
Laser Therapy
Laser Therapy is a drug free, noninvasive treatment option to reduce pain and inflammation and to increase the speed of healing. The benefits of laser therapy have been well-documented, and at AMCMA, we have seen a big difference in the post-surgery recovery time when pets have received laser therapy after their spay or neuter.
