Discounted Spay/Neuter Program

Please see the requirements below to see if you qualify for our discounted spay/neuter fees.

Your rabbit, if a male, is ready for neuter when his testes are visible, usually around the age of 3-4 months. Female rabbits should be spayed at 5-6 months old.

In order to make this important surgery more financially feasible, NJHRS has enlisted the support of veterinarians across New Jersey to participate in our reduced cost spay/neuter program.

How the program works...

These reduced fees are available only at the participating veterinarians listed below who accept an NJHRS authorized Spay Neuter Certificate. Individuals interested in taking advantage of our program will pay a reduced spay or neuter fee to NJHRS for which they will receive a Certificate. The certificate is to be presented to the veterinarian at the time of the surgery.

You must purchase, and receive, your Certificate(s) from NJHRS before calling the vet and making an appointment. The certificate will be sent to you via USPS mail. It will not be emailed to you. Again, do NOT make your appointment until you have received your Certificate(s). We cannot stress this enough: DO NOT MAKE YOUR APPOINTMENT UNTIL YOU RECEIVE YOUR CERTIFICATE.

Please read to understand your additional financial responsibility

◘ The Certificate pays only for the cost of the spay/neuter surgery.

◘ All of the veterinarians require a physical checkup before surgery (which may or may not be a separate appointment) to make certain that your rabbit is healthy and able to handle the stress of surgery. The cost of the checkup varies from office to office and that cost is your responsibility. When making an appointment be sure to inquire as to this cost so you will be prepared.

◘ The cost of pain medications after surgery, if prescribed by the veterinarian, is your responsibility.

◘ If treatment is required due to complications from the surgery, that too is your responsibility. Complications are rare but possible, as with any surgery.
