I don't know what the vets in your area charge, but here a neuter runs from about $150 to $200 - so the price would be great here.

Some people I know swear by putting crushed pineapple in the food - there's something about it that makes the poo unappealling to dogs.

And I wonder how many other bill collectors this jacka$$ is dodging. Sounds like a real low life.
