Haywood Spay/Neuter envisions a future where proper health care is available to every pet in Haywood County, regardless of owner income status. Spay and Neuter services are essential to the health of each dog or cat and greatly diminish the cycle of homeless and unwanted animals. Our wellness programs provide education, referral resources, and essential services to empower pet owners to give their companions the healthy, happy lives they deserve.
TRANSPORT UPDATE: Our October transport dates for cats and male dogs are the Thursday the 10th and Wednesday the 23rd. We are full for female dogs. Due to staff shortages, the ASPCA Spay/Neuter Alliance reduced the number of surgeries they can perform so we book up quickly, especially for female dogs.
Roundworms STEAL good health from your pet!
Roundworms & hookworms are common in dogs & cats. Roundworms have little teeth that attach to your pet’s intestines.
Your pet picks up worms when it eats infected soil or feces, wildlife, or when it licks contaminated paws. Nursing litters get infected from a wormy mother’s milk. Pyrantel is safe for use in pregnant and nursing pets.
Worms can infect people who touch their mouths with contaminated hands.

passing a “spaghetti” worm in feces or stool
