Low Cost Spay and Neuter Options In Salt Lake City

When you get a new puppy, they come with quite a long to-do list. From training to vaccines and everything in between. We understand that list can get expensive but one of the most important things on that list is getting your dog spayed or neutered also commonly referred to as “fixed”.

We compiled some places in Salt Lake City that offer affordable options for spay and neuter services. 

Why Spay Or Neuter Your Pet? 

As you’ve probably seen on the news, animal shelters across the country are too full and Utah is not immune to that problem. Fixing your pets can help keep homeless pets off the streets and out of shelters.  

Along with population control, getting our dogs spayed and neutered typically improves their health and increases their lifespan. You should chat with your vet about the ideal timeline to spay or neuter your dog. 

While getting your pet spayed or neutered is a surgery that requires anesthesia, our local vets help make the procedure as quick and painless as possible with anxiety medications and pain medications if your pet needs those. 

And when your dog goes in to get fixed, you can often get them microchipped at the same time in order to avoid extra surgeries and trips to the vet. Microchipping your pet is a simple way to ensure it is always returned to you if it happens to get lost.

Spay and Neuter For Rescues

It’s also worth noting that if you plan on adopting your new pet, many local rescues include spay and neuter in the initial adoption fee, so make sure to check with your rescue to see if that benefit is provided. 

If your family is looking to adopt a new pet, here are some resources and information on local rescues.
