High Quality, High Volume Spay/Neuter Wet Labs
Pet Friendly Services of Indiana teamed up with the United Spay Alliance to offer hands-on spay/neuter surgical training for community-minded veterinarians. These full-day trainings are designed to help veterinarians increase efficiency, build confidence, and strengthen surgical skills that can be applied immediately in everyday practice.
The first wet lab in 2026 will be on March 22 in Bristol (Elkhart County), Indiana. The cost is just $150, and you’ll earn 8 CEs. Click here to learn more.

Partnering with Pet Friendly Services is about community impact, clinic sustainability, and professional alignment.
How It Works
Pet Friendly Services of Indiana runs three year-round programs. You are welcome to sign up for any or all of them, and you can perform as few or as many surgeries as you’d like.
Simply send us the signed contract, indicating which programs you’d like to participate in. Please be sure to include the completed W-9 Form. Once we receive this information, we will add you to our published list, and clients will begin to contact you. If you wish to only provide surgeries to a local shelter or rescue group, let us know, and we will add you to our private/unpublished list.
You can make changes to or end your contract at any time. Simply email us.
Our Vet Reference Guide explains the programs, reimbursement rates, and billing. We also have a handy Vet Contract Reference Sheet for your office staff to refer to when submitting billing.
