| Friends of Animals spay/neuter I'm not sure if this topic has ever been posted before or not but years ago I heard about this. If your thinking about getting your pets spay or neuter you might want to check out this site. friendsofanimals.org the costs are really low....... male dog $64 and female dog $90.00 . they also do cats....you have to choose a Participating Veterinarian .... (the Vet I have been going to for years is listed on the list but not all Vets are) ... You have to put in your zip code and a list will come up as to the Participating Vets in your area. Alot of my friends have used this....you pay the Friends of Animals the money and they mail you out a certificate which is good for 1 year..... My Vets requests that the dog be up to date on all shots and heartworm test done you only have to show the paper work to prove it. Now this price doesn't not include prebloodwork or pain medication that you take home. My daughter had her ChowChow spay 6months ago through this program and used my Vet. My Daughter lives in RI and uses a vet in RI but her Vet doesn't participation in this program. After paying for the Certificate $90 all she had to do was give the Vet the certificate and $15 for the take home pain meds....No office visit charge and also included a check-up a week later at no extra charge. She couldn't believe the price I think her Vet wanted to charge her $360 for the spay. Anyways I just thought it I would share this information. |

| Works great with under 50 pounds. Over 50 pounds the vet is allowed to charge additional fees ends up cost only a little bit less than if you did not get the certificate at all.

| Thanks for sharing! Unfortunately they don't have any within 50 miles of me. It was worth a try though.

| I checked into also and found a vet just a few miles from me. It's a shame my regular vet doesn't participate. I will definitely check with them further to ask about their experience with toy breeds. My mom's Piper is just 2.25 pounds at 18 weeks, and Mom is adamant about spaying her before her first heat.
