Cook County offering discounts on pet spaying, neutering

Pet owners can bring their dogs and cats to participating veterinarians throughout Cook County to receive a $40 discount on spay or neuter services in February.

The county's Department of Animal and Rabies Control is offering the spay and neuter program to mark Spay and Neuter Awareness Month. More than 200 veterinary clinics throughout the county have participated in the Spay/Neuter Rebate program.

Residents who want to take advantage of the spay and neuter program should confirm that their veterinarian offers the discount before making an appointment. No coupon is required, but the pet owner must live in Cook County. The county covers up to $40 off spaying and neutering per pet, with a limit of two pets per household.
