9.9. The Spay/Neuter Certificate

A Spay/Neuter Certificate is a stand-alone document that provides proof of a sterilization procedure.

However, issuing a separate certificate is generally an inefficient use of resources. Instead, we recommend using the Visit Summary as the Spay/Neuter Certificate.

The Visit Summary already documents:

• All services provided, including spay or neuter
• Relevant medical details from the appointment

Because this information is included in the Visit Summary (or Medical Record), printing or emailing a separate certificate is unnecessary.
