Council joins forces with local vets for Desex Your Pet month

Each year Alpine Shire Council joins forces with local vets to offer subsidised desexing for dogs and cats in support of this national day.  

Council is proud to be working with Alpine Animal Doctors and Ovens & Kiewa Veterinary Hospital again in 2023.  

Alpine Shire Mayor John Forsyth said Desex Your Pet month helps raise community awareness of the importance of responsible pet ownership and supports community members to make the responsible choice. 

“An essential part of being a responsible pet owner is to limit the number of unwanted puppies and kittens, by ensuring your pet is desexed,” he said. 

'If you need to have your dog or cat desexed, this is a great opportunity to save some money - book in today with one of our two local vets to ensure you receive a subsidy." 

The first 50 Alpine Shire residents (25 at each vet) to desex their cat or dog at either vet will receive a $50 subsidy from Council. 

Your pet must be registered with Alpine Shire Council to be eligible. 

Bookings must be made through your local vet:
