Spay/neuter services in Salt Lake City

Spaying or neutering your pet is one of the greatest gifts you can provide your animal, your family and your community, and it is critical to helping to make Utah a no-kill state.

These routine medical procedures not only help prevent medical and behavioral problems, they decrease the number of cats and dogs entering shelters and free up homes for other pets by preventing unwanted litters.

By getting your pets spayed or neutered, you are doing your part to help Save Them All.
