Prices & eligibility
- Published prices
- Spay/neuter: dogs $65, cats $50 (cryptorchid +$15). $35 non-refundable deposit for vaccine appointments, applied to the bill.
- Who qualifies
- Shelby County residents who receive government assistance (e.g., SNAP, SSI/disability, Medicaid/TennCare, WIC, Section 8). Bring state photo ID and proof of assistance.
- Notes
- Cannot treat sick or injured pets. Pets over six months must be spayed/neutered to use low-cost vaccines. Usually booked about a month out.
Before you go to a low-cost clinic
- Book early. Many nonprofit clinics open appointments in batches and fill up fast. Some take walk-ins only until they hit capacity.
- Expect a deposit. Many clinics charge a small booking deposit that's credited to your bill but lost if you no-show.
- Check eligibility. Some programs are limited to certain ZIP codes, service areas or household incomes. Others are open to everyone.
- Bring records. Past vaccine records can save you a repeat shot, and many surgery clinics require proof of rabies vaccination.
- Ask for an estimate. Get the full price, including bloodwork, medications and add-ons, before treatment starts.
Most low-cost clinics can't handle emergencies. If your pet is having trouble breathing, collapses, has a seizure, is bleeding heavily or may have eaten something toxic, go to the nearest emergency vet now.
