Today is World Spay Day!
Get Your Pet’s Free or Low Cost Spay/Neuter Voucher
Available Online and Ready to Use from LA Animal Services
Los Angeles, February 22, 2022 – It’s World Spay Day so help LA Animal Services spread the word about the importance of getting your pets fixed and the spay and neuter resources we have available online, including free or low cost spay/neuter vouchers that are ready to use!

There are many benefits to getting your pets spayed or neutered that include:

  • Preventing unwanted pets from being born, making it the most effective way to reduce pet overpopulation
  • Lowering the chances of your pet roaming, so they’re less likely to escape your home or yard
  • Curbing aggressive behaviors like fighting or biting, and 
  • Reducing the risk of certain cancers for our animal companions. 

LA Animal Services makes it easy and convenient for Angelenos to ensure their furry family members get spayed or neutered. By simply going online at laspayneuter.com, residents of Los Angeles can complete the application and their free or low cost spay/neuter vouchers will be emailed directly to their inbox.  

“By spaying and neutering your pet, you are helping to prevent unwanted pet births; decreasing the risk of cancers that can be fatal for our furry friends; and reducing the number of stray pets who end up in our City shelters,” said Dana Brown, General Manager for LA Animal Services. 

The free Spay & Neuter Certificates/Vouchers and discount Spay & Neuter Coupons are available online or at any of our six LA Animal Services Centers. Each household is eligible for discounts for up to three dogs and three cats per household. Free roaming cats and stray dogs do not qualify for this program. Spay/neuter vouchers may be used at participating veterinary hospitals, spay/neuter clinics and mobile spay/neuter clinics.

You Can Help Save Lives Today
 
World Spay Day is important to LA Animal Services, along with municipal shelters, and animal welfare organizations across the country because our spay and neuter programs help to save lives — they prevent unwanted pets from being born thus helping to control pet overpopulation in our community and ensure that life-saving space is available in our shelters for sick, injured, and abandoned pets who have nowhere else to go, and need our care and services to find new loving homes. 
 
Our work is made possible thanks to you – our extraordinary community of animal lovers and caring neighbors. Your support enables us to continue the work we do to help and protect the health, safety, and welfare of animals and people in the City of Los Angeles. Donate today on World Spay Day.
