Affordable Spay Neuter Clinic
Opens in Philadelphia Suburbs
Husband and Wife Team Offer a 50%
to 75% Discount
to Encourage Sterilization
Pottstown, PA (August 11,
2008)…Diane’s Discount Pet
Supplies and Adoption Center
announced today the opening of the
Affordable Spay Neuter Clinic,
located in the lower level of the
retailer’s Route 100 business in
Pottstown, PA. The Clinic’s
mission is to help decrease the
overwhelming pet overpopulation
problem by providing affordable
sterilizations for pets and feral
cats in the region.
“We
are trying to take away cost as
the reason for not having one’s
pet sterilized,” says Steven M.
Silberman, DVM of the Affordable
Spay Neuter Clinic. “We estimate
our fees are 50% to 75% less than
local, full-service animal
hospitals. By dedicating our
facility to spaying and neutering,
we don’t have to support other
hospital services through high
surgery fees. This enables us to
keep our costs down and therefore
available to more people so we can
make a greater impact."
The
Clinic houses treatment
facilities, a dual surgical suite,
and recovery area and utilizes
skilled volunteers and paid
technical staff to provide
service. “We perform pre-surgical
exams on all pets, provide quality
anesthesia and pain relief
medications, and utilize
sterilized surgical instrument
packs for each procedure,” says
Dr. Silberman.
Dr.
Silberman has worked for more than
20 years as a veterinary
practitioner in his own practice,
as an emergency room veterinarian,
and by performing thousands of
surgeries for shelters. Dr.
Silberman also runs a low cost
vaccine clinic each month at
Diane’s.
“We
opened our adoption center in 1989
and have a policy that mandates
the spaying or neutering of pets
we place through adoption,” says
Diane Dietch-Silberman, owner of
Diane’s Discount Pets and Adoption
Center. “By opening the Affordable
Spay Neuter Clinic, we can now
enforce this policy and take a
proactive step to address the
ongoing and chronically
under-addressed problem – the
control and destruction of cats
and dogs due to pet
overpopulation.”
The
Affordable Spay Neuter Clinic is
not equipped to provide routine
veterinary services or treatment
for sick animals, but will provide
ancillary services for spay and
neuter patients such as retained
puppy teeth extractions, puppy
hernia repairs, and miscellaneous
minor surgeries as well as minor
medical treatments for ear mites,
nail trims, and anal sac
expression. For fees and
additional information, please
