A vet will do it for about £60. It may be less than that. It is cheaper to get a dog neutered than a bitch speyed. If you are on full benefits the vet will tell you where you can get it done just for a contribution.

A pal of mine's dog needed an operation which cost over £250.00 and he is on partial housing benefit, the vet gave him a form to fill in and send off to PDSA, a week later they paid all the vet's bill. I just phoned him and he says the form is very easy to fill in and you just copy the Housing benefit award letter from the Council and the vet sends it all off.

The vet was the one near the Castle Pub and the tax office bottom of Whalley road. I don't know the name.

Maybe you don't need charity so I am sorry to suggest it.

Yes that's the one he mentioned, no payment at all if you are on benefit. Mearley Veterinary Group do the job and send the bill to PDSA after you fill in the form.
The pal of mine has had two operations on his dogs and also one put to sleep.
PDSA paid in each case.
He tells me that if PDSA has a surgery near by they will do the job for free but if not they will pay the local vet.

That sounds like a rip off to me, mine had a minor op and neutered at the same time and it cost me about that.

I had to have our cat put to sleep recently and i am on benefits i was told to get in-touch with the PDSA which i did they said the laws have changed and you must be within a certain distance of a PDSA center to be able to claim the nearest one to Accrington is Blackpool which is outside the area.
but the surgery which again was Mearley said if you contacted the RSPCA before you have the op done they will contribute to the op in the end i paid £50
to have the cat put to sleep
vets really know how to charge £15 for the consultation and £35 for injection i was only in there 5 Min's

Well, why don't you sell a PSP, PC, mobile phone etc, I am sure that will help towards the £120.00 it will cost, you seem to have enough.

I don't wish to sound harsh, but have you thought this through, You get a working Terrier, you are on benefits, pets cost money. While I think it is right to get your dog neutered, I can only wonder at your logic in the first place?

I have had a Dog, German Shepard, and currently two cats, they all cost the earth, but then that's the price of animals.

To be fair £120.00 sounds the going rate for a vet these days, they have to make a living as well.

Perhaps he sold all those to buy the dog in the first place? Those little growlers don't come cheap!

Ouch just googled the dogs, you are right Less, lots of dosh.

For what it's worth I reckon if someone on benefits can afford over £100 for a pedigree dog he can afford to have it neutered. If not he shouldn't have bought it.

oi 02, i'll pay for the dog to be neutered if you get done at the same time
