Low Cost Spay and Neuter Options for Pets

Many veterinarians participate in low cost spay and neuter programs to support local shelters. With these programs, animals adopted from the local animal control or human society come with a voucher that is taken to the participating veterinarian for free or discounted pet sterilization. Many cities also have human societies that have an on site animal clinic that provides discounted services to local pet owners.

In some areas of the country mobile spay and neuter programs have been established. These mobile units are typically buses equipped with a full surgery suite. The bus has a schedule set in advance, and pet owners bring their dogs or cats to the scheduled location. Animals are picked up after the recovery time. Because these mobile units do nothing but pet sterilization they can accommodate a large number of animals in one day, which makes offering low cost spay and neuter services to the public possible.

Some of these programs are based on income limits, while others are available to all pet owners. The many of the low cost spay and neuter programs available require the pet to be up to date on all shots prior to their surgery, so always check on vaccination requirements when you book your appointment.
