LA eyes free spay and neuter surgeries for pets under new voucher plan

If approved, the new rates would effectively render sterilization procedures free to eligible pet owners using city vouchers. Animal welfare advocates said that could make a meaningful difference. “We really feel like it’s a step in the right direction,” said Jana Brennan, program manager for Michelson Center for Public Policy’s Spay and Neuter Initiative. “The voucher value has not been raised in a decade, so the adjustment really brings these vouchers into closer alignment with today’s veterinary costs.”
