Spay/Neuter Assistance
If you live in Athens county, read below to find out about low cost options from ACHS.
STEP 1
: Find out when/where to register at one of the ACHS prepay sessions (see schedule on ACHS site). This reserves an appointment for your animal at the next available spay/neuter clinic. Financial assistance available for Athens County residents.
STEP 2: If you are requesting financial assistance, bring the following items with you to the registration/prepay session:
A) photocopy of 2007 tax return or photocopy of proof of assistance through one of the eight government programs which will qualify you for financial assistance for spay/neuter (see list below)
B) proof of Athens County residency (e.g., rental contract, property tax bill, driver's license with a STREET address-not P.O. Box)
C) CASH copayment: $30 for 1st dog, $15 for each addt'l dog, $15 for first cat, $10 for each addt'l cat
STEP 3: When you receive your clinic appointment date/time, drop your animal(s) off in the morning at the clinic you have been scheduled for and pick up your spayed/neutered pet in the evening.
STEP 4: Enjoy life knowing that your dog/cat will live a longer, healthier life, a life without the stress of finding homes for kittens/puppies, and happiness knowing that you have helped your community by being a responsible pet owner.

Spay/Neuter Ordinance
Athens City Council passed (and then later repealed) the Spay Neuter Ordinance on June 21st 2004. Please contact your city council representative to re-enact the ordinance and see that it is enforced!

Pet Meds Makes Caring for Your Pet’s Health More Affordable

Cats are wonderful because they are difficult to stay mad at. They don’t outright lie, or if they do, it’s never about where they slept last night. They don’t seek revenge, and they don’t bite you in the back, although they might chew on your ankle. They provide unconditional love, assuming the food bowl still has food in it. You can always rely on your cat to be on your side, your lap or underfoot when you really need him or her. Cats love you no matter what, as long as they are in the mood and aren’t sleeping under a chair.

Cats are people too. Like people, they get sick too. Also like people, their health often comes down to a healthy diet and good healthy living. The catch is that their health is dependent on you. Cats can’t take good care of themselves. You need to take good care of them so they can live a happy and long life. That doesn’t necessarily mean lots of trips to the vet office. There are many things you can do to improve your cat’s health and help it to live a happy and long life. You can buy many pet meds online, often for cheaper than you’d find in a pet store or vet clinic.

Petmeds is an online pet care site that offers discounted prices on pet supplies that are designed to improve your cat’s health and longevity. On top of offering numerous health products from flea shampoos to top veterinary medications, Petmeds also features a helpful blog that gives advice on all sorts of pet health care, giving you the know how to care for your kitty. Many of the tips on the blog can save you a trip to the vet office.

There are numerous things you can get to improve your pet’s health online. Pet meds from flea killer to ear and eye medications can readily be found at discount rates. The site also features medications for your cat’s diabetes, anxiety, joint pain and kidney dysfunctions. There are even medicines for weight loss, seizures and digestive disorders.

Treating basic factor’s of your cat’s health can help save money while ensuring that your kitty is healthy and lives a long life. Even simple steps like brushing a cat’s teeth can add years to its life. Although medications can get expensive when you are always paying for vet bills, you can get the same products much cheaper online. It saves you the trouble going to the pet store and saves your budget as well. Keep up on your pet’s health that proactively protects your kitty’s health for a long lifestyle. Your pet is your friend. Help it to live the healthy life that it deserves.
