Visit AACL on World Spay Day
This year, Animal Anti-Cruelty League, Johannesburg will celebrate this important day on Tuesday February 24 and they invite their welfare clients to visit them before the date in order to book their animals in for a free sterilization on the day.
REGENTS PARK – World Spay Day is traditionally the last Tuesday in February each year.
The following conditions apply: You are an existing hospital client; Your animal is vaccinated up to date and is checked by the vet at our normal consultation fee, before Saturday February 21; Animals must be healthy and under four years of age; they must be free of disease, not pregnant, not on heat, not have one testicle only, not be suffering from any pathology of the reproductive tract; The amount of sterilizations per family will be at the discretion of the vet; Only 30 places are available on a first come, first served basis, if the conditions have been met; The veterinarian will make the final decision
Sterilization 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.
Sterilization makes good financial sense too, as money does not need to be spent feeding more animals than one can afford.
They invite their hospital clients (those needing welfare assistance) to visit them 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 sterilized pet is a healthy pet. Be a responsible pet owner and sterilize your animal. For more information, please contact Sister Cindy Price 011 435 0672 during office hours.
