Nutmeg Clinic Celebrates Happy Neuter Year for Cats & Dogs in January 2014

“Happy Neuter Year” provides $20 neuter surgeries for male dogs and cats

STRATFORD, CT (December 16, 2013) – Nutmeg Spay/Neuter Clinic wants you to ring in the New Year by making a resolution to neuter your male dog or cat during their “Happy Neuter Year” campaign.

Sponsored by PetSmart Charities, the largest funder of animal welfare efforts in North America, the “Happy Neuter Year,” campaign will provide $20 neuter surgeries for male dogs and cats during the month of January.

Spaying and neutering is one of the most effective ways to reduce the homeless pet population and is safe for puppies and kittens as young as 12 weeks old, according to the American Veterinary Medical Association.

“Neutering male pets is a simple surgery that reduces unwanted behaviors, like roaming, fighting, and urine marking territories,” says Clara Nolan, Nutmeg’s Executive Director. “It also guarantees your dog or cat never fathers a litter of puppies or kittens.”

This special $20 rate is even less than the organization’s normal low-cost price. Pet parents who wish to take advantage of this offer MUST mention the “Happy Neuter Year” campaign when they schedule their appointment. This campaign is based on availability.
