Spay and Neuter Program

We sell vouchers to help reduce the cost of protecting your pet with a spay or neuter surgery.  Pet sterilization also prevents unwanted litters and reduces the homeless pet population.  The voucher is your payment to the participating veterinarian on the day of your pet’s surgery.  Vouchers are sold during regular business hours.  We participate in two voucher programs.
