The Arizona Humane Society’s Mobile Spay/Neuter and Animal Wellness Center will be at the Wal-Mart located at 100 South Ragus Road in Claypool, June 3rd - 5th. For the first two days (June 3rd - 4th), mobile clinic staff will provide low-cost spay/neuter surgeries. On the last day of the event, staff will offer only vaccination services for area dogs & cats.
Not everyone can make it to AHS’ Public Clinics - whether it is from a lack of transportation or a busy schedule. Still, spaying & neutering is so vital not only for pet health, but also for reducing pet over-population. The AHS mobile clinic will come closer to pet owners, so they can take advantage of these low-cost services. The mobile clinic has a state-of-the-art surgical ward & features 4 veterinary staff members. It also includes an animal examination area with air conditioned/heated treatment & holding areas.
Spay & neuter surgery costs will range from $32 to $48 for cats, based on gender & from $53 to $95 for dogs based on gender & weight. Vaccines for dogs & cats who undergo spay/neuter surgeries also are available, & are $16 each. Other services include testing for canine heartworm & feline leukemia & treatment for ticks & fleas. Surgery check-in will begin at 7 am each day, with patients accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. Because surgery space is limited, pet owners should arrive early. For more information and complete presurgical instructions, please call (602) 997-7586 ext. 3002, or visit: azhumane.org, & click on "Spay/Neuter and Wellness," then "Mobile Clinic."
