Nevada Humane Society does not operate a full-service low-cost veterinary clinic. We are able to offer low-cost vaccines and low-cost spay/neuter services for the community, but we do not provide ongoing general veterinary care.
Because we aren’t a full-service provider, we encourage pet parents to establish a relationship with a local veterinarian for regular checkups, chronic conditions, and emergencies.
We also do not endorse any one clinic. Prices and procedures can vary greatly, so it’s always a good idea to ask how services are priced and what is included before making an appointment.

Tips For Talking With Your Vet
- Ask About Excess Funds: Some clinics have donation programs to help cover costs.
- Payment Plans: Longtime clients may qualify for installments.
- Post-Dated Checks: Some vets accept them.
- Discounts: Ask about senior or veteran discounts.
- Get Multiple Opinions: Prices & approaches can vary.
- Discuss Minimum Treatments: Sometimes a simpler procedure (like amputation instead of reconstructive surgery) can be a more affordable, life-saving option.
