A NEW vet in Woodley is chopping a whopping 50% of the cost of neutering pets.
The deal was due to finish at the end of March but the cutting off period will be extended for advance bookings.
It is hoped the reduced cash rate will help pet owners struggling with the cost-of-living crisis.
Courtney Weaver-Ennis, head vet at the Vet’s Klinic, said it will also raise awareness of neutering pets.
“We put pet owners and patients at the heart of everything we do which includes advocating responsible pet ownership,” she explained.
“The benefits of castrating or spaying your cat or dog extends beyond preventing unwanted pregnancies and we want to make this as financially accessible as possible to pet owners.”
Vet’s Klinic says most pet owners accept that getting their pet neutered is the responsible thing to do with 70% of dogs in the UK being neutered and 89% of cats. However, with the rising cost of living, some owners are putting off taking this step because of the cost involved.
The practice on Headley Road East in Woodley, is offering clients a 50% discount on castration and spaying of cats, dogs and rabbits for the month of March following World Neutering Month.
This could save owners on average £100 and anything up to £165.
The discount can also be claimed by owners who are waiting for the appropriate time to neuter their pet by booking and paying for the procedure by the end of March.
The Klinic’s facilities include a unique glass-fronted prep room, which enables owners to see the vets and nurses at work; a separate cat waiting room; a dedicated dental suite; in-house laboratory and two operating theatres.
Clients of Vet’s Klinic also benefit from an online customer portal which includes complete access to their pets’ medical records and provides owners with real-time updates including photographs of their pet while in the Klinic’s care – providing reassurance without the need to ring the practice.
An online booking system enables clients to choose their preferred vet, most convenient time and to access discounted online prices when booking and paying in advance.
