Assistance Financial Hardship

If you cannot afford to have your female dog or cat spayed, even at our regularly discounted prices, we may be able to assist you. We work with several animal welfare organizations that periodically have assistance funding. We do three procedures each month through the Georgia Department of Agriculture Spay/Neuter license plate program. We also have limited funding available to assist owners receiving disability, unemployment, welfare, food stamps, etc. In extreme hardship cases, our doctors and staff sometimes do pro bono spays. Contact us for more information, as availability funding varies.

Economic Euthanasia

Pets that a few years ago received diagnostic tests, treatment, & surgery to extend their lives, are now being put down in droves, because owners simply don't have the money or the credit to care for them.  It's tragic, and veterinarians across the country are seeing it every day. Most pets will get hurt or sick at some point.  If you, like so many people in this economy, cannot pay or charge hundreds of dollars for an unexpected expense, insurance may well save your pet's life. So next time you're surging the web, look into pet insurance. It can save lives & broken hearts.

Reverse Sneezing in Dogs

Reverse sneezing is a common phenomenon in dogs. In a regular sneeze, your dog pushes air out through the nose; however, in a reverse sneeze, air is pulled rapidly into the nose. During a reverse sneeze, your dog will take long or rapid breathes, stand still with elbows spread apart, extend the head, and the eyes may bulge. He’ll make a loud snorting sound, which might make you think he has something caught in his throat. Each reverse sneezing episode generally lasts for one to two minutes. The exact reasons for these episodes are unknown but may be related to anatomic defects, allergies, nasal irritants or inflammation. They tend to occur more often when the dog is excited or agitated. They are far worse in dogs that are overweight.  A reverse sneeze may look disturbing – many people fear that their dog is not breathing during these episodes – but it is not a harmful condition and there are no ill effects. Reverse sneezing attacks are generally quite brief and not life threatening.  An episode can sometimes be stopped if the dog is stimulated to swallow by massaging the throat. Sometimes, patting the chest may help. Stay calm and speak in a soothing voice.  If you get upset, the dog becomes upset, and the reverse sneezing may get worse.  Loosing excess weight will help significantly.

Feral Cat Information

Feral cats are homeless cats that have reverted to a wild state. They often go unnoticed and contribute heavily to the overpopulation problem. Sterilizing ferals has been shown to have a major impact on the number of cats & kittens killed in shelters & pounds.

They cannot be picked up and handled like a pet cat. They must be trapped in order to be brought in for surgery. We sell traps for $60 plus tax. If the traps are returned within 30 days clean and in good condition, we will gladly buy them back less a $10 charge for sterilization and restocking.

Feral cats can be brought in for surgery without an appointment. We know that you can’t be sure when or if you’ll catch them. Set traps in the evening, as ferals are more active at night. Bring ferals in between 7:30 & 9:00 am, Monday thru Friday. They will usually be ready for pick-up the same evening though occasionally we cannot get to them all early enough in the day, and they must be boarded for a fee* overnight. They will need to remain confined until the next morning when they can be released.

We charge only $50 for females and $40 for males. If you are dealing with a large number of ferals, please call - we sometimes have funding available to help with large colonies.

*$15 boarding fee per night. Pick-up time is between 7:30-11:00am the following day.
