Kingaroy vet Stephen Upton hopes South Burnett residents will take advantage of a new desexing campaign being run by the RSPCA in conjunction with the South Burnett Regional Council.
The campaign, which began on June 1, will run for three months and will see vets reducing their desexing and microchipping prices by 20 per cent.
And unlike the last time a similar campaign was run locally, there’s no need to pick up vouchers in advance.
The campaign, which is being run in nine local council areas, will be extended across Queensland if it is successful.
To take advantage of the offer, simply book your cat or dog into one of the vets taking part.
Costs will vary depending on the animal and the procedure, but will be 20 per cent off the vet’s regular price.
Stephen, from the Kingaroy Veterinary Surgery, said most South Burnett vets were taking part (see list below).
He said the campaign to reduce litters was becoming critical as the RSPCA was being overwhelmed with animals.
Pet owners will also get the chance to win a $1200 BP petrol voucher and an entry into a draw to win a family holiday.
South Burnett vets taking part in the “Operation: Wanted” campaign area;
- Wooroolin Veterinary Services, 39 Alexander St, Wooroolin
- Barambah Veterinary Surgery, 71 Youngman St, Kingaroy
- Kingaroy Veterinary Surgery, 30 Avoca St, Kingaroy
- Nanango Veterinary Surgery, 104 Drayton St, Nanango
- Nanango Country Veterinary Services, 7 Fitzroy St, Nanango
- Burnett Mobile Vet, 82a Drayton St, Nanango

PS. Do you recognise ‘Rissole’? He was found wandering Kingaroy streets last week. And while we’ve welcomed him into the South Burnett Online family, we’re worried his former owners may be looking for him. If he’s your cat, please ring us on (07) 4163-6854. If he had been microchipped, we’d know who to contact …
