We have one surgery date available for these prices on February 8th, 2011.  For that date in February, we will be providing the following:

  • Male dogs and cats 5 months and UNDER, will be $15
  • Female dogs and cats 5 months and UNDER, will be $25
  • Pit Bull and Pit Bull mixes 5 months and UNDER will be FREE (that’s right….FREE!)

Fact: Spaying your female dog before her first heat will reduce her risk of Mammary cancer (the most common malignant tumors) by 99.5%
Fact: Most pet owners are concerned about vaccines, but cat and dog mammary cancer is almost entirely preventable IF the dog/cat is spayed EARLY.

Voiceless-MI would like to thank ALL ABOUT ANIMALS for making this spay/neuter program and exceptional prices possible …and for the outstanding veterinary care given to each and every animal.
