World Spay Day

REGENTS PARK – This year, Animal Anti-Cruelty League Johannesburg will be celebrating this important day on Tuesday February 25 and invite their welfare clients to visit them before the date to book their animals in for a free sterilisation on the day.

The following conditions apply:

You are an existing hospital client;

Your animal is vaccinated up to date and is checked by the vet at their normal consultation fee, before Saturday February 22;

Animals must be healthy and under one year of age and free of disease, not pregnant, on heat, with only one testicle or suffering from any pathology of the reproductive tract;

Only one sterilisation per family is allowed;

Only 20 places are available, on a first come, first served basis if the conditions have been met;

The veterinarian will make the final decision about bookings.

Sterilisation ensures that pets live longer, healthier lives and make better pets. It helps to reduce the risk of disease (eg mammary tumours, uterine infections), decreases aggression and reduces the number of unwanted animals born that end up in shelters or are given away to unsuitable homes where the problem of unsterilized animals will be continued.

Sterilisation makes good financial sense too as money does not need to be spent feeding more animals than one can afford.

Hospital clients are invited (those needing welfare assistance), to visit the AACL during   consulting hours: Monday to Friday 09:00 to 11:00 and 13:00 to 15:30, Saturday 08:30 to 11:00. Their standard consultation and vaccination fees will apply.

A sterilised pet is a healthy pet. Be a responsible pet owner and sterilise your animal.
