Step 2 - How the Pit Mix Fix Works (Must Read)
Fill out the Pit Mix Fix application by applying online. After you submit your online request form, you will receive a confirmation message. Pet Friendly Services will mail a spay/neuter certificate(s) to you. Please allow 2-3 weeks for the certificate to arrive due to the US Postal Service*.
Step 3 - Participating Vets
Be sure to check our Vet List at the bottom of the page for participating vets in your area. Note that most vets participate in the Spay-Neuter Assistance Program (SNAP) and the Pit Mix Fix. Please review the list carefully to determine program participation.
State law requires that your pet has a current rabies vaccine. Either check with the vet of your choice regarding the price of the vaccines, or Google “low cost pet vaccines near me” to find options in your area. Be sure to bring your pet’s rabies vaccination paperwork to your spay/neuter appointment.
Do not schedule an appointment with a participating vet until you have received your gold-colored spay/neuter certificate. When you do receive your certificate, be sure to schedule your appointment right away. Certificates expire four months from the date of issue, and vet offices can be extremely busy.
Please do not lose your goldenrod certificate or allow it to expire. Lost and expired certificates may be reissued at Pet Friendly Services’ discretion. There will be a $10 reissue fee, payable by money order.
