Clyde's Animal Clinic's Free Cat Spay Neuter Clinic in October
Make a Difference Day,
Held every year the fourth Saturday in October.
For this day, we do a free cat neuter/spay clinic. This year is our 15th year of holding the free cat neuter/spay clinic. Our goal is to spay/neuter 200 cats on this day. To qualify to have your cat spayed in the free cat neuter/spay clinic:
- You must come into Clyde’s Animal Clinic beginning September 1 of each year. (If September 1 is a Wednesday, then come to the clinic on Thursday, September 2.)
- Get a registration package, fill it out and return it to us as soon as possible.
This is a first come, first served registration, and we our surgery schedule for the free clinic is usually filled up in 1-2 days. You can purchase a T-shirt in our store. Also, all donations to cover the cost of this event are appreciated.
If you would like financial help to spay or neuter your dog, Coles County Humane Society offers certificates for partial payments for spay/neuters based on need. You can apply directly to the county for the certificate.
Your Pet's 2012 Resolution:
Help them get Healthy!
As the New Year begins and we make our new year's resolution to lose weight, let's not forget to add our overweight pets into the plan. As reward-based training becomes more popular, so does pet obesity. This is a serious issue and obesity is a leading contributor to diabetes in pets. Overeating, a predisposition for obesity, lack of exercise and eating the wrong types of food are the most likely causes of your pet's weight gain. Overweight pets may be suffering physically as a result of carrying the extra weight, and obese pets, like obese humans, do not live as long as their more active and weight appropriate counterparts. Obesity in pets is a condition over which the owner has significant control.
