The low cost spay and neuter services for cats and dogs remains to be a regular activity of the Office of the City Veterinarian in line with its campaign for responsible pet ownership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For its neutering services last October 17, a total of 65 cats and dogs were catered with 45 clients served.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spaying is the surgical removal of the ovaries and uterus in a female animal while neutering is the surgical removal of <\/a>a male animal\u2019s testicles – both of which are standard veterinary procedures that deliver numerous health and behavioral benefits and at the same time help reduce unwanted animal population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The activity is conducted every month. Interested pet owners may register their pets in advance at the City Pound located at Malasiga Drive, barangay San Roque. Post-surgical medication and supplies will be the responsibility of the pet owners. (CMO-PIO) (photo credits: OCVET)<\/p>\n
