HOW MUCH DO YOU PAY?
Each vet Service has its own chart of fees for services it offers, including spays and neuters. Prices vary depending on the species (dog/cat), sex, and weight of the animal. The SNIP Voucher you purchase will be for an amount that takes all of this into consideration, as well as your income. This is a low income/low cost program designed to help those families who need a financial boost in order to get their pets spayed or neutered.
For a family earning more than $50,000 per year, SNIP is not available. For families earning under $50,000, your voucher cost will be either 50% or 75% of the veterinarian fee for the appropriate spay/neuter procedure. Saving Dogs 4 Paws at a Time will make up the difference between what your pay for the voucher and what the vet charges for the procedure
Please note that this service is provided at a discounted rate to the tescue for the cets to aid in the spaying and neutering of your pet. Actual walk in appointments at the vet for individuals without a voucher will be at a higher rate.
