Cats (male or female) $20 for the first cat and $15 for each additional cat residing in the same household

Pit Bulls, Chow Chows, Rottweilers or mixes thereof (male or female)* $20 each

* Pit Bulls, Chows, and Rottweilers are breeds that are grossly overrepresented in San Diego County animal shelters. Therefore, to encourage owners of these breeds especially to spay and neuter their pets, we offer a special fee of $20 for these three breeds and mixes thereof.

SNAP does not alter rabbits on the Neuter Scooter. For information about low-cost spay/neuter services for rabbits in the San Diego area, please check out Services: Other Low-Cost Spay/Neuter Resources.

What's Included

All pricing includes the following: Spay/Neuter surgery, nail trim, and a dose of Advantage flea preventative. For dogs, a rabies vaccine** is also included. Dogs in the jurisdictions of San Diego County Animal Services, Chula Vista Animal Services, and North County Humane Society Animal Services receive a free one-year license. There is no additional charge for females "in heat," pregnancy, undescended testicles, overweight animals, etc.

Because male dogs are most prone to licking/chewing their incision sites, pricing for MALE DOGS ONLY includes an Elizabethan collar (also called an E-collar or "cone"). If owners of cats or female dogs choose to go home with an E-collar as a preventative measure, the collar may be purchased for an additional $5.

** If the dog has already had his/her rabies vaccination and only needs a license, the owner must bring proof of rabies paperwork to registration on the day of surgery. This paperwork must include vaccine manufacturer, vaccine name, lot #, veterinarian's information, and date of vaccination.
