What we do offer, however, is a voucher for low-income families to get their pet spayed or neutered at a low cost. The voucher covers the cost of the basic spay or neuter which includes the surgery, anesthesia and the pain meds post-surgery, but any further costs such as vaccinations and other potential treatments are not covered by the Victoria BC SPCA, so you will want to ask about those when you book your appointment.

We are aware that the need for our clinics is province wide and we aim to continue to expand. These clinics are part of our ongoing, long-term goal to increase access to veterinary care and to build a sustainable animal welfare system that provides the utmost care for our companion animals in our province. The Better Together program promotes responsible pet guardianship by assisting individuals to get basic veterinary care for their pets.
By providing the necessary vaccinations, we also provide health benefits to the community at large, by reducing the likelihood of the spread of deadly diseases, such as parvovirus, distemper and rabies. Information on responsible basic care, and pet guardianship, including licensing information, is also made available. Our animal health clinics are run by our volunteer Animal Health Team.
