Dog Desexing Program
Financial Assistance for Dog Desexing
We noticed an increase in unwanted litters of pups being surrendered and wanted to provide a solution.
There is an obvious need to offer financial assistance to those people who with concession cards to enable them to meet the cost of desexing their dogs. By going through the RSPCA, you have the option of using a credit card to pay up front at a discounted rate or Centrepay to stretch out the payments for the desex vet bills. A upfront payment of $50 is required and minimum repayment of $40 per fortnight. We offer a simple online system to complete the application.
THE RATIONALE
Aside from preventing accidental litters, there are many health and behavioural benefits to desexing.
Desexed animals are generally less likely to get diseases and certain illnesses such as mammary cancer and uterine infections in females and prostate problems in males.
Desexing commonly reduces behaviour problems such as roaming, aggression and urine marking in males.
In females it prevents mating behaviour and false pregnancy. Reducing the desire to roam also reduces the risk of being in a traumatic accident such as being hit by a car.
This program is only available to concession card holders.
