  Hi Eclipse. The South Taranaki Spca, can offer low cost desexing to female cats for $60. Then there is https://www.facebook.com/452400218106209 KittyCat Fixers, who can help people who genuinely can't afford the cost of getting their pets desexed. With them u'll need to pay a deposit of $40 and then reimburse them their contribution https://www.facebook.com/216463578371504 from as little as $1 a day. Finally, the Humane Society of New Zealand can help with the cost of desexing one pet per household. Good on u for wanting to do the right thing by ur cat. :) - Mark.

  Dylan R. asked:

  Hi there can you please tell me if theres any where affordable in the levin region to desex our cat at a reasonable price we were quoted $100 which seems a bit steep TIA.

  

  Help P. replied:

  Or just had a thought - one other option is to apply for 50% grant from the Humane Society on 09 630 0510 - they can only help one pet per household so you need to be aware of that. As Chris says, get quotes from all the vets in Levin and then apply to the HS - if approved, they will pay their half into your account and the vet and you will need to pay the other half. Good luck, Jan

  Nina T. asked:

  Are there any cheap places in ashburton i cn get my pup fixed? :)

  

  Help P. replied:

  HI Nina - if your pup is a Staffy, Pitbull or similar breed (or cross) then Christchurch Bull Breed Rescue may be able to help http://www.chchbullbreedrescue.org.nz/. If not then it could be worth contacting the Humane Society on 09 630 0510 http://humanesociety.org.nz/desexing-your-pet.html - they can often provide 50% of the cost of desexing. Good luck :) Chris

  Help P. replied:

  HI - your best option would be to ring around your local vets to get a quote (price varies dependng on the weight of the dog), then apply to the Humane Society. This group is based in Auckland is run by volunteers, but they help people all over NZ. If you are a genuine case of hardship, they are able to help with up to half the cost of de-sexing one pet per household. They can be contact over the phone on 09 630 0510. Or, you can complete their online application form from their website, Good luck please let us know how you get on :) www.humanesociety.org.nz

  Rob S. asked:

  Anyone know any vet prices for a 30kg female dog to get spayed in tauranga,I need to get my girl sorted more puppies will be the death of me lol

  

  Help P. replied:

  Hi Rob - each vet varies on dog desexing prices, but at that weight, you will be looking at over $300. Two options to help you though - first one is that the Desexing Van is coming to Tauranga SPCA in June - it's not free this year, but will definitely be a low price. However, they are not taking bookings until the end of April (only 4 weeks away I suppose). The other alternative is that you apply for a 50% grant from the Humane Society of New Zealand and you would need to pay the rest. The Humane Society can help with just one pet per household and you can either apply on line or call them on 09 630 0510. I hope this helps and yes ... no more puppies!!! ;-)

  Careata K. asked:

  Hi, I am looking for low cost dog neutering in Tauranga for my daughters dog. He keeps breaking ropes and collars and has cost a small fortune to get out of the Pound. Please can anyone help. We are currently in a financial bind where we cannot afford to get him fixed at the moment. Thank you

  

  Help P. replied:

  Hi Careata - mount vet in totara street tends to be the cheapest although they have recently increased their prices. If you can wait till June, the low cost desexing van is due at the tga SPCA but that's still quite some time away. Or you could get a quote for the cost at a vet (chose the lowest) and then apply for a grant of 50% from the humane society. They can usually help one pet per household. Their number is 09 630 0510 or you could apply on line on www.humanesociety.org.nz. Hope this helps

  Angela B. asked:

  hi there does anyone know of any places that will do discounted neutering for my beautiful wee girl dog in Chch? She is 5 yrs old and around 5kg.

  

  Help P. replied:

  Hi Angela - sadly, there is no discounted dog desexing in Christchurch at the moment. However, you should apply to the Humane Society of New Zealand as they will probably be able to help with 50% of the cost of desexing your little dog. You need to get a couple of quotes from local vets (they quote based on weight, so your little girl shouldn't be the most expensive!). Then, apply to the Humane Society - you can either call them on 09 630 0510 or fill out the online application form on their website - www.humanesociety.org.nz - good luck!

  Sarah T. asked:

  Hi everyone. :) Just wondering if anyone out there knows where I can get my female pup fixed at a reasonable price in the Wanganui/Manawatu area - so far, the general consensus is around the $270 mark, which I'll pay if necessary but just interested to know if there are other vets who are a bit more reasonable. Thank you.

  

  Help P. replied:

  Hi Sarah. Unfortunately there is little to no help for desexing in your area and that amount does sound the going rate. However, you may qualify for some assistance with that from the humane society. You can apply by phone on 09 630 0510 or online at www. humanesociety.org.nz. Definitely worth doing as they can sometimes provide up to 50% of the cost, depending on your circumstances. Goop luck. Jan

  Rachel V. asked:

  Hi... Would you know of any deals on desexing that could be coming up (or somewhere that does not charge through the roof) near Mangere??

  

  Help P. replied:

  Oh durhh! OK, in that case, the Mangere Vets still do good prices for dogs, plus you could also contact the Humane Society. They will often provide up to 50% of the cost of desexing one pet per household. Their details are on their website www.humanesociety.org.nz. You will need to get a firm quote from a vet for the desexing and either call them or fill in their on-line application form. Definitely worth doing if you can. Good luck.

  Clair M. asked:

  Hey I was wondering if you could possibly help a very good friend of mine. Her young dog sadly got pregnant before she could get her fixed up. She wants to get her fixed now asap but the costs of desexing are huge. Do you know anyone who could help her?

  

  Help P. replied:

  Sure. Depends on where she lives, but her best bet is The Humane Society who will probably be able to grant her 50% of the cost of de-sexing her dog. But if you can let me know where she lives, I may know of other options for her. Unfortuantely, I cannot help any more dogs for the time being as we are in the height of kitten season and my funds are really low at the moment. The Humane Society's website and contact details are www.humanesociety.org.nz. They are based in Auckland but can help anyone in NZ.

  Jen A. asked:

  Hi there everybody :) Need to get my wee man (dog) fixed asap as he went on heat earlier than expected. Problem is, money's a bit tight, so can anyone recommend a low cost vet in Chch? Or any discunts going on in the area? Cheers guys

  

  Help P. replied:

  Jen Angus .... is the dog a male or a female? Males don't have a 'heat'. Also, roughly how much does it weigh (desexing costs for dogs are based on weight). There isn't anywhere particularly low-cost in Christchurch but I can let you know about a few recommended vets with slightly lower prices. Alternatively, you could apply to the Humane Society for a grant of up to 50% of the cost (one pet per household). Their website is www.humanesociety.org.nz and although they are based in Auckland, they are able to help people throughout NZ.

  

  Help P. replied:

  Hi Jen Angus I have a few recommended vets for you: Vets For Pets on Worcester Ave, Avonside Wainoni Vet Clinic and the Animal & Bird Hospital on Ferry Road. All are recommended and have competitive prices. If you need additional financial help, you could contact the Humane Society as they can sometimes grant up to 50% of the total cost for one animal per household, which is a great help. They are based in Auckland but help people throughout the country. Their website is www.humanesociety.org.nz - you can either ring them or complete the online application form. Hope all this info helps.

  Riccardo P. asked:

  Hi, where is the best value dog desexing around Akld? The local practice in my 'burb wants over $300! No wonder many people view some private practice vets as thieves!

  

  Help P. replied:

  Hi Richard ... the best value vets I know of are Mangere Veterinary Clinci on 09 636 6732. Dog desexing prices depend on sex and weight, so you would need to know the weight of your dog and then give them a call. Their lowest prices start at around $91 for a small male and go upwards. If you have a very large heavy dog and still need help, you should contact the Humane Society. They are usually able to help by funding up to 50% of the cost of one pet per household. Their details are on www.humanesociety.org.nz. Good luck, I hope you get on OK.

  Help P. asked:

  I have found another great organisation based in Hamilton. They are the Humane Alternative Desexing Programme .... and can offer cat de-sexing to Community Service and Gold Card holders for just $30 (whilst the money lasts!). If you qualify and need your cat fixing or know someone who does, give Norma a call on 07 824 3792.

  

  Help P. replied:

  Wendy Sparks ... just another thought. The Humane Society can offer financial assistance to desex one pet per household ... you can apply online. www.humanesociety.org.nz
