Low Cost Spay-Neuter
Don't need another litter?
Our Low Cost Spay-Neuter (LCSN) Program is for limited income dog and cat owners in Virden and southwest Manitoba.
It reduces your cost of a spay or neuter to about 1/3 of the regular rates.
The program runs year-round and is jointly funded by Virden Pet Network and Virden Animal Hospital. Our mutual goal is to curb the explosion of unwanted litters and improve the health and behaviour of owned pets.
