Spaying and neutering of pet small mammals greatly reduces the chances of reproductive diseases, unwanted behaviors, and unexpected pregnancies.
For many people, the cost of preemptively neutering or spaying their exotic pets discourages them from having this important procedure done.
As part of our commitment to preventative medicine and to our local community, we offer our SPECIAL spay and neuter program. Once a month, our skilled veterinarian will offer their services at a discounted rate with the hopes that we can make a difference in the lives of many animals who may otherwise not be able to have this important surgery. Below, you may review the differences between the "Value" program (limited availability) and the "Standard" program (higher price, available immediately).
