Be Prepared For Pet Care-A-Van Spay, Neuter Service

The Pet Care-A-Van continues its tour around the borderland offering free spay and neuter surgeries for pets.

The city of El Paso Department of Public Health's Animal Services Division offers the service.

If you’re interested in the surgery, make sure to bring proof of low income eligibility, including Medicare, WIC cards, Texas Lone Star cards, proof of residence at HUD residential complexes, etc.

Pet owners also have to arrive at the site by 6:30 a.m.

The procedures are on a first come first serve basis, and only 20 to 25 animals will be considered.

If you plan to bring your pet, make sure you follow these guidelines:
Pets may drink water up until the time of surgery.
Adult animals should not have solid food after 6 p.m. of the night before their sterilization surgery.
Puppies and kittens (4 months-1 year) should not have solid food after 11 p.m. of the night before the surgery.
Pets that younger than 4 months or older than 6 years, and females in heat or males whose testicles have not descended, will not be spayed or neutered due to health risks.
For more information about the Pet Care-A-Van program, call (915) 842-1000.
