Low-Cost Spay & Neuter for Daviess County Pet Owners
Affordable surgery at Pets Alive Indiana, just 1 hour from Washington via US 50 East through Bedford
Daviess County has a strong tradition of practical, community-oriented values — and that extends to how people care for their animals. Whether you farm outside Odon, raise a family in Washington, or live near Elnora, you understand that responsible pet ownership means getting dogs and cats spayed and neutered. What many Daviess County residents don't know is that a licensed, nonprofit veterinary clinic offering that surgery for $90 for cats and $130 for dogs is just an hour up US 50 East through Bedford. No income tests. No county residency rules. Just affordable care for any pet owner who needs it.
Pets Alive Indiana has been doing this work since 2005 — more than 20 years and more than 230,000 surgeries as a nonprofit 501(c)(3). We serve communities across south-central Indiana precisely because not every county has affordable local options. Daviess County pet owners have rated us 4.8 stars on Google, and the recurring feedback is always the same: professional veterinary care, fair pricing, and a process that respects your time. Drop off your pet at 8:00 AM, your pet comes home the same afternoon. It's that clean and simple.
Washington and the surrounding Daviess County communities have a mix of working farm dogs and family house pets, and our clinic handles both. The US 50 route east is a familiar corridor for anyone making regular Bedford or Bloomington runs, and we're easy to find at 2444 S Walnut Street once you arrive. If you have a working dog over 100 pounds, give us a call first — we'll quickly confirm whether your pet qualifies under our standard rate or if there's an adjustment needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
From Washington, IN, head east on US 50 through Bedford and continue into Bloomington — the total drive is about one hour. Once in Bloomington, our clinic is located at 2444 S Walnut Street, which is straightforward to reach from US 50's entry into town. The route is a well-traveled highway corridor that Daviess County residents use regularly for shopping and medical appointments, and Pets Alive is right along that path.
No income verification and no residency requirements — those are the two questions we hear most often, and the answer to both is no. Pets Alive Indiana is a nonprofit that keeps prices low as a structural choice, not a charity program with a qualification process. Any pet owner in Daviess County, or anywhere else in Indiana, can book an appointment and bring their pet in. You don't have to prove anything to get care here.
Yes, we have a TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) package specifically for feral and community cats at $60 per cat. This is a great option for Daviess County farm families managing outdoor cat populations. The cat should be brought in a humane trap rather than a standard carrier. If you're trapping multiple cats, call us at (812) 349-1349 ahead of time so we can accommodate your numbers and schedule appropriately.
Spay refers to the surgery performed on female animals, which removes the ovaries and usually the uterus. Neuter refers to the surgery on male animals, which removes the testicles. Both procedures prevent unwanted litters and provide health benefits, including reduced risk of certain cancers. Our $90 cat price and $130 dog price apply to both spay and neuter regardless of sex. When you book, you'll select your pet's species and we'll confirm the procedure at drop-off.
Bring your pet in a secure carrier (cats) or on a leash (dogs), your form of payment — cash, card, and check are all accepted — and proof of a current rabies vaccination if you have it. If your pet is not current on rabies, we can administer it at the clinic. Your pet must not have eaten since midnight the night before surgery, though small amounts of water are fine. Drop-off begins at 8:00 AM, and same-day pickup is in the afternoon.
Availability varies by season — spring and early summer tend to be our busiest periods. You can check real-time availability through our online scheduling system and book a slot that works for your schedule. We perform surgeries Monday through Thursday. If you're flexible on the day of the week, you'll often find an opening within one to two weeks. For multiple animals or special circumstances, calling us directly at (812) 349-1349 can sometimes help us accommodate you faster.
