Is there financial assistance for neutering

Just a question really. Because I am the only earner in our family finding £90 spare to neuter Dougal is proving quite difficult. Is there any assistance from the SSPCA or anything? It was part of the terms of the rescue that we got him neutered but it's been a hard year.

Try the PDSA they do schemes like this

The PDSA here do, but someone has to take thier proof of claiming benefit with them, so they can registar the animal.

Give the Dogs Trust a ring. They have schemes with several Local Authorities around the country to offer reduced-fee neutering for families on particular benefits.

What if you arent on benefits though.
You work hard so you dont have to be on benefits and when you need help it isnt there! Grrrr

Not sure whether it's just this area but we have an RSPCA neutering discount of £25, whether you're on benefits or not.

Yeah that's the problem we have. When my OH tried to apply for benefits he was told that it wasn't worth it cause he couldn't claim job seekers cause well, he's not. He's looking after our son. Can't get income support cause I'm working and so it goes on. It's not something we can realistically afford till after Xmas/

Working tax credits is classed as benefits..and unless you are on a really high wage you will be entitled to that

hiya the only one i have ever found is the PDSa and you Must be getting housing benefit, all others i found said no or you had to have housing benefit help.

also my Old vet charged £150 for neutering but my new vet is £75, maybe look around for a new vet as well?

my new vets is called: Your vets, might have one near you?

Hi, My nan recently just got her dog neutered when she rang to make the appointment at vets they said if she was a pensioner or on low income they had a reduced rate w=hich the dogs trust subsidises. Not sure if its just this area though. |Hope this helps
