Spay and Neuter Programs
We offer low-cost and no-cost spay and neuter programs to encourage families to get their pets fixed. Our prices allow pet owners to keep pets in their homes and can be up to 40% less expensive than other veterinarians.
A fixed pet is healthier, happier, and helps to reduce the number of pets going into shelters (and the number of pets euthanized in shelters!).
Schedule an appointment Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m!
Our Norwood Spay & Neuter Center/ Community Clinic, located on the Northside of Jacksonville (right off I-95 at exit 358), is one of the largest spay and neuter clinics in the country.
Spaying or neutering pets lowers the number of unwanted puppies and kittens entering shelters each year. It is the one sure way to end the needless killing of cats and dogs in shelters!
Schedule your spay or neuter appointment by phoning our call center at 904-425-0005, ext 2, any day of the week from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm.
