Spay Neuter Project of Los Angeles

I would NOT take a pet to be spay or neutered at the San Pedro location. My dog was neutered there and I took him straight to the vet who said it was incorrectly done and one of the worst jobs he had ever seen. The incision was not in the right place and they didn’t surgically glue both cut ends but instead stuck the glue in the middle of the incision. Also he had excessive bleeding internally. This is an easy procedure and they botched it up badly.

I’m told my cat was psychology «ill» because he came back from the pico location with weird bugs in his fur and won’t stop scratching until he bleeds which has left my cat on with a cone for two months now. Even with pictures and evidence that my cat isn’t psychologically ill the Dr wouldn’t believe me. Ive called numerous times to find the line not available and have also left a message; did anyone call me back? Of course not. This is very unprofessional and frustrating. I will never come back here ever again. My cat doesn’t deserve this type of treatment, no one does.

Spayed and Neutered Project of Los Angeles was close by my home and so I decided to give this place a try because of the great reviews and I’m so happy I did!
I dropped my pup off early in the AM and headed to work. The clinic closes at 4:30 but I was stuck in traffic and knowing that I was really against leaving my puppy unattended overnight they waited until I arrived 15 mins later. The receptionist was super sweet, accommodating, and really took her time to walk my puppy out since she was all drugged up and slow. The clinic was clean and the staff was really professional. I wish I had known of this place sooner, thank you spayed and neutered projects of Los Angeles for taking care of my fur baby

I brought my 10 month old puppy for a simple spay procedure. It’s been almost a week since her fixing and she now has severe kennel cough. I called them and they said it isn’t there fault and she didn’t contract it there, yeah okay… Had to spent $ 150 at another vet for her visit and 10 days worth of meds. I should have paid the extra money and had my pet fixed at an actual animal qhospital.
Oh and to make it worst, I paid to microchip her but when I picked her up they never gave me any paperwork related to it. So when I took her to the new vet they checked and said she didn’t have a microchip put in. I really doubt I’ll be taking her back to get that microchip, probably will just get it done at the vet next time.

This past Thursday I brought my puppy in to get neutered and overall I am extremely happy with the results. Checking him in, I waited about half an hour but hey, it is a low cost clinic so I wasn’t surprised and did not mind waiting. Greeting of the staff may need a little improving as they do come off rude and make you feel unwelcome at times. But as for the guys in the back. They were more than kind and did an excellent job with my pup. Clean incision site, healthy pup, and everything is healing properly. I would recommend this place to a friend. Thank you for an overall good experience and for taking care of my loved one!

These are amazing people doing great work. I had a great experience here even though they were absolutely slammed with so many owners who were all stressed out about their pets.

Have given my mature dachshund rescue pet excellent care for reasonable prices since the first time we brought him in after bringing him home from the Hemet shelter. Patient, helpful, professional they’ll keep our dog in good health as long as it’s humanely possible. We’re very very grateful!

I wouldn’t even give this place any stars but since I have to give it at least one for my review to post then I will. this place is a joke! Do not go here. The staff is so so rude, it’s pathetic. they are so unwelcoming & rude with a lot of attitude towards their customers, I absolutely hate the staff. I took my kitten to get neutered here and brought her home and found out 2 weeks later that he is not able to pee and has urethral obstruction. They did a horrible job ‘fixing’ my cat.

Brought my kitten in to be neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. I was very pleased with all things considered.
At the time I called for an appointment, the wait was two weeks. Check in was 6am and the process takes awhile. I was third in line and it took about 35 minutes. I paid around $ 80 for my services (with no discount). They offer low cost services to qualifying individuals and free services for specific area codes.
The window for pick up was long, from 10am — 4pm. I took the day off of work in advance for this reason and hung out in the area. They called me around noon to let me know everything went well and I could pick up my cat around 1pm.
So considering I paid about $ 400 less than I would have at a vet in Santa Monica, I would say it was definitely worth it.

Love this place!!! I was very nervous about getting my dog fixed and where to take her. She made a very fast recovery and I’m very grateful that they took such great care of my dog. The staff was very pleasant to talk to.

I decided to try this company out by having my two cats micro-​chipped. I was told that this procedure was walk-​in only (no appointments necessary). I drove all the way down to San Pedro with my cats and walked through the door and was immediately accosted, «Um, we’re having a staff meeting right now, can you wait outside?» (and not in a polite tone at all). I was seriously confused. I stood outside and waited since I had made a far drive and had my cats all crated up. Even more frustrating, it sounded less like a «staff meeting» and more like a party going on inside. After waiting about 20 minutes and having no idea how long this meeting would last, I headed home.
I’d like to add an agenda item to this lame business’ next staff meeting: how about scheduling meetings outside of business hours.

walked in for vaccines, brought all 3 fur babies.
fast n easy. Rose needed rabies vaccine and got her nails clipped. nice job.

I work in rescue and we recommend all our foster parents in the South Bay area take their kitties to PPF for basics like spay/​neuter, vaccines, snap testing, deworming, microchipping, flea medications, etc. They are fabulous and always do an amazing job. Although you do need to make an appointment for certain services, they do have walk in appointments for vaccines and snap testing where no appointment is necessary — and never an office visit fee. The price of the service requested is the flat rate price of what you pay. They are wonderful and have some of the best prices around on rescue basics. They also provide discounts to 501c3 rescue groups that are even better than their already low prices for the general public.
One of the things I really love about SNP is that certain services like snap testing costs a little less if you get it done at the same time your animal is spayed or neutered. Additionally, they provide microchips free when spaying and neutering if requested and free pain medication for three days following the procedure. You cannot beat that. Trust me… most places charge for chipping and pain meds and don’t offer this.
The only downside is the check in time for spay/​neuter — always between 6:30 and 7 AM — and pick up must be before 4 PM. However, it’s a small price to pay for the wonderful service they provide and the fabulous rates they offer.

Something must be done about the clinic serving on a first come first serve basis. I was there at the posted opening time (6:30) with my two ferals trapped for spay/​neuter but the staff didn’t arrive to open until apx.6:50; that’s okay, things happen and what these people are doing for what they charge is a godsend. However… we were the third party there waiting for them to open but they just open the doors and reward the rude and inconsiderate behavior of those who just show up at the last minute, as they’re opening the doors or thereabouts, and take them first. Third in «line» I wound up with number 16. This needs to be fixed as it rewards the selfish behavior of others and I for one am not very tolerant of such behavior. I think a simple «Line forms here» sign near the entrance would entirely solve this problem. Estella at the front desk was just amazing, but thank you all for the wonderful work you’re doing.

Had my dog fixed and just don’t understand the permanent blue tattoo under the belly, they put on him.
I called and they said it would go away and it never did.
People always ask me how he got the tattoo, and I have to tell the story.
Other than that they did a good job.

We live in Burbank but have family in the South bay who suggested we come here for low cost vaccines and spay/​neutering. We drove all the way down here because of the excellent reviews and were happy that the reviews were true about the awesome staff here who eased both our new cat and our minds about vaccinations and other questions we had as new pet parents. Definitely was worth the drive, the lady was courteous, helpful and supportive as well as fast, it literally took less than 15mins for the shots.

The impression given is that they are a low cost clinic.
Just like all other overpriced vets, an appointment is needed.
It is $ 45 just to walk in the door before they have done anything.
Estimations of cost are given only after you have paid the $ 45.
Just go to your regular vet.
This place is no different.
For cheap vaccinations, wait until your city or a neighboring one is hosting a clinic through their Animal Control unit.

The staff is still very helpful and nice! Although nowadays you may have to wait a month or longer, they’re very popular now. Of course the prices are still very reasonable and you can get a lot of help from foundations to help you with the spay/​neuter fees.
Lately though when I’ve taken cats to get spayed, the incision sight is very messy and at times scary looking. They essentially apply sutures on the inside but on the skin layer they apply surgical glue and a green tattoo very close to that and it looks very messy as I said before. I’ve known some clients that do rescue work to have resorted to their regular vet to repair or treat for infections caused by the way they close, or not, the incision sites. But I guess you get what you pay for and that’s exactly the way some of these people feel and they’re just grateful that their is low cost clinics they can go to.
But I’ll keep using their services anyways, again I’m just grateful that I can get my neighborhood/​rescue cats fixed at low cost.

After reading all the great reviews about SNP LA, my fiancé and I decided to give it a shot. We wanted to get our 8 mo. old YorkiePoo spayed, but we were concerned about the price being 3x as much at our normal vet. The next available appointment wasn’t for about a month (December 2014), which was fine.
We arrived on a Thursday around 6 a.m. and were the first ones in line. As soon as 6:30 a.m. came around there were at least 15 people behind us, so I suggest getting there early since it’s first come, first serve. Check in was pretty simple. I thought we’d have to show proof of vaccines, but the girl at the counter said we didn’t. We were able to pick up our pup around 1:30 p.m. and she was really woozy, as expected.
Since my fiancé and I are both full-​time students, SNP LA gave us the discounted price of $ 85 for the spay procedure (which included the E-​Collar and pain/​anti-​inflammatory med Carprofen (aka Rimadyl-​another Unilocaler mentioned that the pain med SNP LA gave them wasn’t for pain, but it’s actually for both pain and anti-​inflammatory)). We also got our pup microchipped for $ 5. So the total was $ 90, and we gave a donation.
Three days passed after her operation and everything was going fine but we noticed that she was constantly licking her vulva (not her incision site), so we thought she might’ve gotten a vaginal infection, which I guess is common in puppies. I tried calling and leaving voicemails with SNP LA, but since it was the week of Christmas, they were out of the office for the whole week. Two more days passed and we never received a response back from SNP LA. Her licking was getting more frequent so we ended up taking her to our normal vet who said that our pup had a mild vaginal infection and they prescribed her some antibiotics. Despite the infection, the doctor had also mentioned that she was healing really well and fast.
The reason for the 4 stars is because of the after care. I wish someone would’ve told us that no one would be in the office for the whole week after we got our pup spayed. I’m not sure what the cost would’ve been if we did take her back to SNP LA to get post-​op treatment, but the pink piece of paper you sign and receive states on the back page at the bottom that «SNP LA will treat at our clinic, at minimal cost, any post-​op complications…» If we went with our normal vet, the post-​op care would’ve been included in the cost of the whole procedure.
Today, we visited our normal vet again and had asked about our pups baby tooth that has not fallen out yet. She said that if we would’ve had gotten her spayed with them, then they would’ve extracted the tooth in the same procedure. =(Not sure if SNP LA would’ve done the same thing, but probably not since they only specialize in spay/​neuter.
So overall, we ended up spending the cost of our normal vet’s spay procedure (which would’ve been around $ 280) and plus a little more since she will have to be put under anesthesia again for her tooth. We will have to get her tooth extracted sometime this year so it won’t cause any problems in the future. Hope someone else can learn from our experience with our puppy!

Everyone here is extremely friendly and helpful. My brother took his dog here to get neutered and they did a great job with him. It’s a low cost clinic, so it’s extremely affordable. They do offer seeing a vet, but only once a week (Sunday). The front office said to book in advance because it gets full. No schedule is taken by the actual clinic, so you have to call the general number and they’ll give you a time to come in. All neuters and spays are appointment only. I was going to schedule my pup to get neutered here, but they were booked for a solid month!
I recently brought my dogs here to get their Bordetella shots for $ 16 each. Rabies is $ 10 and DHPP is $ 16. They also offer microchipping and flea/​tick treatment. There’s more discount when you spay/​neuter your dog/​cat if you live in San Pedro and if you’re low income and other requirements that can be found on their website. Some guy only had to pay $ 5 to neuter his dog because the animal shelter next door offered $ 30 off (I think for living in San Pedro).
This clinic is right next to San Pedro’s Animal Shelter, so the parking lot can get full. Thankfully, there’s a lot of turnover, so you won’t wait too long.
