Collier County Domestic Animal Services (DAS) is expanding access to affordable pet care with the launch of three new community veterinary service programs aimed at supporting pets, families, and community cats throughout Collier County.

The new programs include low-cost public spay and neuter services, public vaccine clinics, and a Return-to-Home (RTH) cat spay and neuter program for community cats.

“These programs are designed to help keep pets healthy, reduce overpopulation, and provide residents with accessible veterinary care options,” said Dr. Erica Unz, Veterinarian Medical Director for Collier County Domestic Animal Services. “By offering affordable preventative services, we’re helping pets stay in loving homes while also supporting the overall health and safety of our community.”
