Spay/Neuter
Spaying or neutering your pet is essential to preventing unwanted litters and protecting your pet from serious reproductive health issues. It is also required by Chapter 7 of the City of Dallas code.
If your pet is intact, you may be in violation of city code and subject to citation and fines. We have several partners across the community that offer low-cost and free options for spay/neuter.
