"There are so many reasons that this is important," Dr. Bozarth said. "The number one reason is for the health of your pets, to help the girl dogs and cats from having babies. It also helps prevent breast cancer, it helps prevent uterine cancer."

Dr. Bozarth also says neutering your male pets can improve their behavior.

"Dogs that are barking a lot, or dogs that are running away from home to chase girl dogs, boy cats, it can help keep them from spraying and fighting," Dr. McKay said. "There's medical and behavior reasons."

Development Coordinator Tina McKenna says it's a good opportunity for affordable pet care.

"They're for the community and they're income qualified," McKenna said. "They tend to be less expensive than vet clinics."

To be eligible for the low-cost clinic, pet owners household income must be less than 80 percent of the median income in the area.

McKenna says spots are filling quickly for the March 31 and April 1 clinic. You can register at WenatcheeHumane.org and click on the veterinary care tab to schedule an appointment.
