It can cost a lot of money to take care of pets. It's a good idea to get your dog or cat spayed or neutered so they don't have more dogs or cats than you can feed and take care of.
If you have a low income, Vermont's Spay/Neuter Incentive Program (VSNIP) can help you get your companion animals (pets) spayed or neutered.
If you qualify for the program, you can get your companion animals spayed or neutered by a vet who accepts VSNIP vouchers for only $27 for each pet. (VSNIP only includes dogs, cats and wolf hybrids.)
Who can get VSNIP vouchers?
To be eligible to get a VSNIP voucher, you must:
- Be a Vermont resident
- Have gotten the animal for free or paid no more than $75 for it and
- Have a total gross monthly household income at or below 185% of the federal poverty level.
