Dogs Trust in Waterford?

Does anyone know if there is any Dogs Trust Vet in Waterford City or county? They allow you to get your dog neutered (if you qualify) for €20 and they pay the vet the balance.

I haven't heard of any but would also be interested to know

I found this on their website

Subsidised neutering is available from Dogs Trust for people in receipt of the following benefits: :

• State Pension Non Contributory
• Widow’s, Widower’s or Surviving Civil Partner Non Contributory Pension
• Carers Allowance
• One Parent Family Payment
• Deserted Wives Allowance
• Jobseekers Allowance (Not Benefit)
• Supplementary Welfare Allowance
• Disability Allowance
• Blind Pension
• Farm Assistance
• Guardian’s Payment Non Contributory
• Qualified Adult Allowance
• Pre Retirement Allowance

We have a list of vets taking part in this scheme and their details are available from our Neutering Hotline on 1890 946 336.

If you are on one of the benefits listed you simply take along some proof of your benefit when taking the dog in to be neutered, and the vet will only charge €20, the balance of the cost will be settled by Dogs Trust directly with the vet.

Thanks for that.I found a list on the councils website.City Vets are the only one in the city itself.There's two in Dungarvan and one in Kilmacthomas.The way it works is that Dogs Trust send vouchers to the vet.You bring ID and proof that you qualify and you get the job done for €20.A great scheme

it sounds great, we wouldn't qualify for it but it's a great initiative

how much is it to get a dog neutered? we have a 7 month old Springer and I'm debating whether to get him done or not

City vets aren't participating in the scheme at the moment so that just leaves the guy in Kill or Comeragh vets in Kilmacthomas

It cost me €90 about 3 years ago to get our boxer done, he was 2 at the time. The cost depends on the weight of the dog so unless the price has increased dramatically I'd imagine it would be around the same now. We got him done up in deLaceys in Carrick. I find their prices much cheaper than any vet in Waterford City.

What about the vet down by the 3 shippes?

I was onto city vets a month or two back and then girl in there told me to go down to the ispca down by the Marian with proof of poorness and they will give me a 50 yoyo voucher towards the denutting. Said I can keep the balls and all if I want. Decided the dog can stay attached to them though.
