GRAPHIC IMAGE WARNING!!! I'm writing this review to warn others about my extremely upsetting experience with SNAP Neuter Scooter. I brought my cat to them to be spayed, trusting that she would receive safe and professional care. Unfortunately, what happened afterward has been traumatic and heartbreaking. Within a short time after her surgery, I noticed her incision didn't look right -- it began opening up and appeared red and irritated. When I got home from work one day, I realized the wound had opened completely from the inside out. I immediately rushed her to an emergency veterinary hospital, where she had to be taken into emergency surgery. The emergency vet confirmed that SNAP Neuter Scooter had not properly closed the internal layers of her incision, which caused the wound to separate and become severely infected. They also discovered that the green tattoo was applied directly over her surgical wound, which should never have been done. The infection had spread so deeply that the emergency vet had to widen and reopen the incision, clean out the infection, and re-suture the internal and external layers properly. This situation caused my cat significant pain and put her life at risk -- not to mention the emotional stress and expensive emergency bills I had to pay to fix a surgery that was done incorrectly. I understand that complications can happen, but this was not a normal complication. This was the result of poor surgical technique and lack of proper closure. A low-cost service should still meet basic veterinary standards of care, and what happened to my cat was unacceptable. I strongly urge other pet owners to think twice before using this service. What I went through was terrifying, and no pet or pet parent should have to experience this. I did try to go back to the clinic to see what action can be taken and i feel as though they refused to take any accountability. They offered for me to bring my cat back to do a full check up on Tuesday but she's been through so much stress and pain already, that I feel more comfortable following up with her normal vet instead. They refused to take anymore accountability then a "full check up" on Tuesday... I am very upset and so heartbroken my poor baby had to go through this. Please please think twice before taking your pet here read more

Good surgeon and staff. Easy to apply. Also give free vaccinations and microchip if you want. Shocked to see that 7 of the dogs before me had NEVER been to a vet. The shots alone are a great community benefit. Small dog spay was seemless. Dog recovered quickly and is doing fine. Support this group. read more

It was really easy to sign up and someone reached out within 2 days to schedule an appointment near me. Someone even reached out through text before to remind me of my appointment and gave pre-surgery instructions for place, time, and feeding for my dog. I brought both my dogs here separate times to get spayed and each time they were handled with care fairly prices for low income families. After surgery care was simple and easy to follow and they gave an email and phone you can contact if you have any questions. 10/10 experience bringing my lil pups. read more

Dr. Paris did a GREAT job with my rabbit Luna. She was spayed in the neuter scooter at a rabbit clinic in partnership with the SD House Rabbit Society. They SNAP team had a very organized intake and pick up system and made the service significantly more affordable than the other three vets I checked with. SO grateful for the SNAP team. Support their work. read more

This program really cares about the animals and it shows. I got my female kitty spayed with them and they did a very good job. They included vaccines and a booster four weeks later. I love how they want to take care of the animal community by trying to eliminate the breeding problem. They help out people in need who cannot afford to pay for an official vet visit. They saved my kitty's life! read more

Dropped our puppy off at 7:30am, picked her back up at 11am after her spay, she is super groggy and out of it. The people at the SNAP truck were very kind and explained after care thoroughly. While getting spayed she also got microchipped. The price was affordable and the spay was quick and our puppy is home resting with her cone on. We have care instructions and pain medication- thank you SNAP!! read more

I am soooo grateful for SNAP's assistance with my baby girl! Her incision site is so small, it honestly looks laparoscopic! She probably could have used a little more time coming off of anesthesia before I picked her up... she struggled walking to the car.... getting in... and was quite out of it coming home... I did need to get 10 days worth of gabapenten from her normal vet, because she was in OBVIOUS pain and what I was given wasn't sufficient. With all that in mind and two weeks later, she is continuing to heal beautifully and I am soooo appreciative! Let me also commend all their administrative backup... especially Kylie... but everyone! So helpful and efficient! Thank you so very much!!! read more

Got my female cat spayed here, they took wonderful care of her! she got her vaccines as well and it stayed fast and affordable!

I lover that program exists! SNAP offers a tiered charge for their spay/ neuter services. Those of us on the higher end help to fund those who couldn't afford or wouldn't due to the traditional cost. They are very kind, helpful and considerate. Your pet will be checked for fleas, worms, dental issues,ear problems, skin issues and more. They will treat at no or very little cost to you, and provide follow up services if needed. You can get a free nail clipping and Rabies shot if needed at your appointment! The dates for treatment in your area can be found on their website, as well as the application for an appointment. You will be given date at the earliest possible date via email, then given all the paperwork needed to explain the work done as well as the recuperation time. the day of the appointment. Be prepared to pay up front, but they offer multiple ways you can pay for their services. Very happy with the service and the cost! read more

Wonderful and caring employees. My Golden Doodle was spade and they took amazing care of her!!! Thank you!

What a great organization. They offer free service for the military. So I was able to get both my pomapoos neutered & spayed for free. Cones came free, & they even did free nail trimmings & shots. But even without the free military discount, their normal prices are all very affordable. Everyone was so professional, and everything went smoothly. My pups are on their 7th day, & healing beautifully. Thank you so much SNAP! Very grateful for all that you guys do. read more

To preface, I'm an over protective cat mom and we brought our 7 month old cat to be spayed with SNAP. I was so nervous, but the appointment, check in and pick up process was really easy, streamlined, timely, and they provide all the information you need. The spay is such a fair price. Most importantly, the vet did an amazing job, I've never seen a cleaner or smaller incision and stitch on a spay before. Our cat healed up so quick and so well, there was no incision bleeding or infection. She did have pain for a couple days, but that's typical for the procedure. I do wish they had the option to purchase additional pain meds, but at the same time my cat was only in more severe pain for 1 day. I'm so grateful to SNAP for the amazing work they do and the care that they give towards these pets. read more

When I adopted my second dog, Malcolm, he was still intact at 3 years old. Not sure how he escaped neutering, having been in the shelter several different times, but I had to sign a form promising to show proof of neutering within two months after adoption. I almost fainted when I got $600 estimates from two different vets. That's a lot of money to me. The second vet suggested I look at SNAP and they were much more reasonably priced at $225 for my income range. (It's lower for people with less income.) I admit I looked for tons of reviews and opinions before signing Malcolm up. They had some bad reviews due to staff issues before COVID many years ago, but that appears to have been resolved in more recent years. I was told the reason it's cheaper is because they don't do some of the precautionary measures a vet does, such as blood tests to make sure the organs can handle the anesthesia, having an IV line in in case something goes wrong, and having dedicated vet techs to look after the dog when they wake up from surgery. Malcolm is a pretty normal dog and we had solved his residual medical issues from the shelter in the first month I had him, so aside from being slightly underweight, I figured he could probably handle not having the extras. Fortunately I was correct and everything went very smoothly the day of his surgery. I was more than happy to have him back home quickly, especially because of his poor shelter experience. I didn't want him to think I had abandoned him. When we showed up that day the paperwork was easy and the staff was helpful with my nervous questions. He was only there for four hours before he was back home with a cone. It did take all day for the anesthesia to wear off but that was best so he didn't bother the incision. The incision was so well done I couldn't even really tell where it was. As long as you follow their instructions and keep the cone on for at least 10 days, everything should go just fine. I think because they do so many in a day they have it down to a science, and I know boys are much easier than girls, but they did a really great job for a much lower price than any regular vet. Malcolm was back to his normal self within 24 hours and everything healed up within the first two weeks without issue. Again, I feel that *as long as your dog does not have special needs,* this is a great option. If your dog has never had a blood panel done, I do recommend doing that before surgery at your regular vet, just to make sure they can handle the anesthesia. Even paying for that, SNAP was still cheaper than the vet hospital estimates I received. read more

We had such a seamless process in getting our rescue puppy spayed. From the communications by email up to the day of the procedure, it all went so smooth. Our little pup was back to her normal self literally the next day and it's now 2 weeks later and her little scar is almost non-existent. Thank you so much for being so gentle and kind to our little 4 pound bundle of love! read more

They were great, amazing price! I got my cats spayed and neutered microchips and vaccine for $45 apiece and you can't beat that. Thanks for the help snap project. read more

They are heaven sent! Help with any budget! They gave my Ferrell cat his first shots and got him fixed with what I could afford!

Oh SNAP! You guys are awesome. We spent timeless hours searching for affordable neutering options for our 7 month old puppy, Kobe. We received numerous quotes that were way above our budget ($250-$400). I researched SNAP and submitted an application online and was contacted the very next day to schedule Kobe's neutering appointment for just $77! I was floored, absolutely ecstatic. The first available appointment was about a month out, which was understandable because it is an actual "mobile neuter/spay center" with limited space. Communication was great! They kept us posted on our pup's appointment and sent us reminders and additional check information etc. The operation itself seemed to go quite well. We dropped our boy off at 7:30am and picked him up at noon. His recovery was smooth! They do provide after care instructions as well as contact info just in case there are any issues post-operation. They even called the following day to check up on Kobe. They also provide two days worth of pain meds as well as the "cone." If you are looking for an affordable yet very dependable spay/neutering option, this is it! Thanks again for taking such good care of our baby boy! read more

The neuter scooter van was parked at Petco and we stopped by. Had a 6 month old pup and needed to get the neuter done. Took a biz card and called. Got a call back the same day. They set up an appointment about two weeks out and it all worked out great. Our pup is healing nicely. All the employees were great. Very organized. Price was within our budget, Special shout out to Kylie on the phone who called us with the appointment snd then the veterinarian assistant who called us to follow up after the procedure. Wish I could remember her name? Just excellent!!!!! read more

Just had my Malinois spayed at the neuter scooter in Escondido and had a GREAT experience. We had originally tried to get in as a standby, but when all the scheduled pups showed up we weren't able to. I was then scheduled for a guarantee appointment later in the month. The next day they called me because someone had cancelled their appointment and were able to get us in the next day. All staff were very pleasant and helpful throughout the entire step of the process, and very kind to my pup. She is dog reactive and was understandably a little stressed, but the staff assisted me every step of the way. When we had initially been turned away, I called my vet to see about cost, incase we were able to get it done sooner... $1100!!! As a single mom there's no way I would be able to afford that. Thank you!! read more

I had a great experience with the neuter scooter! It was easy, affordable and overall great service. They really care for the animals. Brittany texted me the next day checking in on Hank and I thought that was very kind. I will definitely be recommending and donating to them! read more

We had our rabbit Pookie spayed at the Neuter Scooter on Sunday August 4th. They had it parked next to the San Diego House Rabbit Society so it was a familiar location. Our appointment was at 7 AM. They had sent us a confirmation by email. We got there 10 minutes early but they were organized and ready to go. We filled out the paperwork and they checked in the rabbit and set the pick up time for Noon. At noon we got there and they went over the post operative care information and answered all our questions. We also opted to pay $10 extra dollars to have a microchip in case she gets lost, we can hopefully be reunited. Our rabbit was ready right at noon. This is the second day after the surgery and she seems to be recuperating very well. Pet care is very expensive, but this organization makes neutering and spaying very reasonable for people who want to be responsible pet owners but cannot afford the outrageous prices to have their pet fixed at the vets. I was very grateful for this organization. I think the state of CA and the city of San Diego should be actively subsidizing this Organization. Our shelters are bursting at the seams and I was quoted over $600 to get this done at other veterinary clinics. Rabbits are tricky animals to operate on and if your vet is not familiar with them even the wrong anesthesia can kill them. I would have scraped the money together somehow because this is very important for the care of my rabbit, but I don't know how many people with families could have funds for this in these tough economic times. I had been trying to get an appointment for a couple months so I know they need more buses and more vets. They know what their doing and I was relieved she was in safe hands. There's a huge demand. Please get your pet fixed now instead of waiting for the animals to be abandoned at the shelter. Thank you SNAP. This is a wonderful organization. If you can please donate. read more

So so happy with SNAP! My intact dog and my new roommates intact dog were starting to get aggressive with each other and the humane society could fit them in until 2 month out. My friend gave me there number and they were able to fit both of them in within a week. The whole process was so quick and only took one morning. The pups came home with a cone, medication, rabies shot, licensing, and a nail trim. My only complaint is that they didn't take away the extra skin so there's just skin hanging that's pretty unattractive to look at. read more

Where I live in Ramona, I inherited four feral cats, then at the end of March somebody dropped a pregnant calico off in front of my home. She had a litter of kittens and SNAP was there to help me make sure she didn't continue to be just a breeder. They patiently answered all of my questions. were personable and professional. . Bridget on the phone was amazing, got back to me each time and never made me feel like I was bothering her. Today at Kit Carson park I was able to see them in full action, treating every person, and every animal with kindness and respect. This is an amazing group to support & help get the pet population down. read more

My 2.5 year old cat Angel was spayed today. SNAP and their Neuter Scooter came to Escondido. We dropped her off at 745 am and picked her up at 130pm. They are caring, and very gentle. And Affordable! $66.00 for Spay, nails, exam, pain meds, and E Collar. Most vets charge 25.00 just for the collar. And they are sponsored by Ralphs and Petco. You cant go wrong with these great people. read more

I'm so glad I did a lot of research and found SNAP! I was able to get my Holland Lop spayed with them and it was a really simple process. Everyone working for SNAP was really friendly and helpful. They gave thorough post-surgery care instructions and took good care of my bunny. Affordable programs like these are incredibly important, especially living in San Diego, where most things aren't affordable. I really appreciate all of their hard work and care for animals. read more

SNAP Spay Neuter Action Project - Ricky Bobby - Veterinarians Near Me

Great service, very professional, very caring! Registration was pretty fast and clear. Received a call following date and was offered 2 closest days and locations available. Couple weeks before this procedure I took my puppy for a regular check up and thick/flee medication at local vetco and Dr advised me my puppy still has 2 baby teeths next to permanent teeths and they need to be extracted in 2 weeks if they don't come out naturally. I meant to ask at Snap project if there is a chance that could be done at the same time but completely forgot. When I returned to pickup my puppy noticed there were blood marks on my puppy's cone and nurse confirmed baby teeth were extracted during the main procedure. It only tells you that they do care about animals and did that without asking. And no additional charges were added! Very grateful and very happy. It has been 5 days, everything healing nicely and my puppy getting back to normal. 5 more days to go with cone which she hates but got to be done. After surgery instructions were very clear and informative. Highly recommended, excellent service at very affordable price. read more

I took two 7mo old kittens to be neutered and given fvrcp and rabies vaccines (vx were free) at the Neuter Scooter. Applying, booking, check in/payment, drop off and pick up all went so smoothly- everyone at SNAP is friendly, responsive, communicates well, treats the animals well. Can't recommend them enough for low-cost neuter/Spay services! Thank you, SNAP, for everything you do! read more

We were so impressed with our neutering experience with our cat Pepper. It was so nice and smooth, everyone was professional, friendly and easy to work with. We followed the directions exactly as they requested and had no problems. We put him in a carrier we got on Amazon that is recommended for cats to be carried onto the plane (Alaska airlines) and put under the seat in front of you. It worked out perfect. Being a male cat they don't require or suggest one of those horrible cone things either and he didn't end of bothering his stitches so it wasn't needed. Our cat was a bit out of it for about 2 hours after he came home. After we were home for 4 hours he had 1/2 his normal meal. They give them pain time release pain medicine that lasted 72 hours so he never was in pain. His incision looks perfect, they didn't even have to shave him. I think they even trimmed his claws. I can not say enough good things about how pleased we were with the whole thing and for such a fair and reasonable price compared to the $500+ our vet would have charged. Thank You SNAP, keep up the good work!!!!!!! read more

I dropped her off at 8 am and I picked her back up at 1 pm. She was groggy which was expected. The staff was all very friendly and they were very caring! It's a very affordable option as I was concerned. I wouldn't be able to afford this at a private vet. Also, if your military (E-1-E-6) look into the pet chit from dogs on deployment and it will be 100 percent free for you to fix your dog through them! read more

SNAP Spay Neuter Action Project - Biscuit, my female shih tzu who is 10 months old - Veterinarians Near Me

Dr. Paris is amazing. She neutered my unexpected family member after his owners dumped him to die. My boy had little discomfort and healed quickly. Last week Dr. Paris spayed my husky who had recurring inflammation with her female organs. I was very worried about my puppers having complications with her condition but this surgery went great also and my girl is impatiently waiting to run around again. The staff has been great and the process goes smoothly. It can be a little hard contacting them for after surgery questions though. My experience with the Neuter Scooter has been excellent however. Thanks to all of you for taking such good care of my "kids!" read more

they are incredible. My dog ​​was neutered with them and they gave all the necessary instructions and took the time to send a message to find out how his recovery was going. I certainly recommend it! read more

My boyfriend and I took our 6 month old pug for her spay yesterday. He went to work and on my way to pick up our Mishka, I got in a car accident. I had to go to the hospital and was unable to call SNAP. My boyfriend was finally able to reach them. Dorell and Michelle went out of their way to help us not worry about our sweet girl. She spent last night with Michelle and her family. And Dorell drove her to our apartment in Santee all the way from North county today. We are forever greatful for their kindness during a traumatic experience on my end. They could have dropped her at the shelter. Instead, they opened their arms and hearts. Please make sure to use the SNAP mobile van for your spays and neuters. You won't regret it. I'm so glad our baby was in such good hands. It's great to have her back home now. read more
