DISCOUNTED NEUTERING SCHEME

There are a great number of health benefits to getting your pet neutered, not least that it helps cut down on the amount of unwanted/abandoned animals within our area, therefore allowing our Inspectorate more time to deal with injured/distressed animals in need.

Dog Neutering


If you are in receipt of:-

We have in place an agreement, with participating local vets, whereby we offer a vastly reduced rate for a dog castrate and a bitch spey. The cost to you would be ONLY £35!

This is only available to those people in receipt of the above mentioned benefits.

We can offer discounted neutering for cats at paricipating vets, to pet owners in receipt of the above benefits; Owners pay just £15.

Discounted neutering vouchers are also available for these animals - owner to pay £15 per animal.


** A full list of MICROCHIP EVENTS for 2010 is available on our FUNDRAISING & EVENTS page**

Microchipping is a quick and painless procedure; a small 'grain of rice' size microchip is implanted between your pets shoulder blades, it takes a few seconds to do and lasts a lifetime. This microchip contains a unique number, which is registered with all of the pet owners contact details. It will ensure that you and your pet can be reunited should he/she go missing. A scanner is used to identify if an found animal has been microchipped. The central database is contacted and given your pets' unique microchip number, you will then be contacted to tell you where your animal is being held until you can be reunited
