Cheap dog spaying in Quito

Post new topic

buddhaland

I have a female rescue dog who needs to be spayed.  I live in Quito, on a pretty limited retirement income, and am hoping to find a reputable veterinarian at a good price.  Any suggestions?  Perhaps a vet school at a Quito university?  Many thanks!

Here are two leads....

1. There is a Facebook page for " REDauxilio" (aid network) for stray dogs and cats:

www.facebook.com/REDauxilio.UIO

2.  Some folks from Colorado USA connected with Segunda Oportunidad of Ecuador,
which has ties to local Quito vets.  You'll have to look up the contact information if that organization is currently active.

There is an ongoing effort to sterilize pets in Quito, barrio by barrio.  You could call these clinics and find out:

This is a successful government funded initiative. What they do, as OsageArcher mentioned, is spay neighborhood dogs, or community dogs that locals are able to vouch for and basically say that they help feed them.

If the OP lives in centro-norte, visit the dog center at Carolina Park. They are responsible for the community dogs at the park.
