Spay and Neuter Clinic

The Spay Spa & Neuter Nook in Davidsonville wants to spay and neuter as many cats and dogs as possible to prevent unwanted and homeless kittens and puppies this spring.

During April, the Spay Spa & Neuter Nook is offering dog neuters (based on weight) starting at $75, and dog spays (based on weight) starting at $85; cat neuters are $40 and cat spays are $55.

As always, feral and community cats will be spayed/neutered, ear tipped and given a rabies vaccination for $40.

Spaying or neutering eliminates many behavioral problems in females displayed during a heat cycle, such as yawling and spraying, and possible infections of the reproductive tract. In males, neutering often reduces the likelihood of territorial aggression and marking. Spayed cats and dogs have a 40 percent to 60 percent lower risk of mammary cancer, which is the 3rd most common cancer in pets.

To make an appointment to have your pet spayed or neutered, or for more information, call 443-607-6496 or visit www.spayspa.org or www.ruderanch.org.
