Neutering & Vaccination Program

Since the very founding the Dog Care Clinic has always had a focus on a consequent program of mass neuterings and vaccinations as the only sustainable solution for the stray problem in Sri Lanka.

We follow the well-established CNVR method (Catch Neuter Vaccinate Return). Long-term studies have shown that CNVR solves the problem permanently and improves the welfare of the dogs involved.

Our vet teams and catcher teams make this happen on 365 days a year.

After the neutering - if no further treatment is needed - the dogs are brought back to their territory. So we can continously increase the amount of neutered strays and gradually gain control over the dog population. 

The stray dog population depends on the carrying capacity of the area which is determined by the availability of resources, mainly food and shelter.

Would we not return the neutered dogs nature would fill the emerging gap by higher numbers of reproduction and migration from neighbouing areas. The neuterings would remain without effect.

Our daily feeding tour enables us to continue our care for the returned dogs.

It's not just the neuterings - with the additional examinations and vaccinations we also have the opportunity to reduce rabies, yellow  fever, distemper parasites and other infectious diseases - thus - in turn enables social interaction of humans and animals without risks of infections. 

We spay/neuter between 35 and 45 cats and dogs per day. By now, more and more owners bring in their pets for a free sterilization.

These numbers speak for themselves and since 2015 there hasn't been any recorded case of rabies in our area. 

But all this has to be funded (cost-calculation as PDF) and sadly, there is no support from the government at all.

So we are in urgent need of your financial help and support to provide sustainable help !
