Spay and Neuter Programme

A Stitch in Time Saves Nine... or Ten... or Eleven...

A pair of scissors, thread, and a needle are all it takes to fix a torn hem before it's completely unraveled. Your veterinarian can use those same tools to "fix" your dog or cat, and to help reduce the pet overpopulation problem. It's a simple solution to prevent millions of unwanted animals from being born to a fate that often ends with a needle of another kind.

Why your female pet should be spayed:

No heat cycles.
Less desire to roam.
Risk of mammary gland tumors, ovarian and/or uterine cancers reduced or eliminated.
Number of unwanted animals is at an all time high.

Why your male pet should be neutered:

Reduces or eliminates risk of spraying and marking
Less desire to roam
Risk of testicular cancer is eliminated
Number of unwanted animals is at an all time high

We run a low cost SPAY/NEUTER programme airmed at reducing the unwanted litters of domestic animals. Every dog neutered through participation in this scheme is issued a NEUTER certificate which enables the owner to license the dog for a one time fee of $5.00.

Feral cats are a problem Island-side and we trap, neuter and release as many as possible. T/N/R is accepted by Animal Humane organisations as the best method to control over-breeding of feral felines and is preferable to Pest Control Company policies of externimation. Normally only the young inquisitive cats are caught whilst the older and wiser Toms and Queens continue to breed. Verterinarians with whom we work tattoo the ears of females for easy recognition.

Please spay or neuter your pet. For low cost spay/neuter services, please call (246) 420-1541.
