Question: What is the charge for
spaying/neutering my pet?
Answer:
The charge for either procedure
(spay or neuter) is $30, regardless of the animal's size or other
factors (dogs
and cats only)
that typically affect charges related to animal sterilization
surgery. If you cannot show proof of your pet's rabies vaccination,
there is an additional $10 charge. The $10 charge covers the cost of
administering the rabies vaccination at the time of the spay/neuter
surgery. Complete payment of all charges must be made prior to staff
confirming any scheduling details related to your pet's spay/neuter
surgery. If you are currently unemployed or can demonstrate other
financial hardship, you may qualify to receive spay/neuter procedures
for your pet free of charge. If you feel you may qualify for this
consideration, please make this known up front. All payments are non-refundable,
unless procedures are cancelled at least two weekdays (Mon. - Fri.)
in advance.
