It seems this vet has a good reputation and he does all the neutering for ARC so must have a lot of practice. I love my cat and want to give him the best...so I guess my wallet will take a blow but at least he'll be healthy and not too badly ... Read More

Hi, I'm having my cat neutered with Saigon Pet Clinic on Friday. I'm opting for the keyhole surgery to reduce his discomfort. I had heard that it only costs around $25 for neutering but I was quoted 1,300,000 for traditional surgery and 2,200,000 ... Read More


Price of cat neutering in HCMC by Claire_
How much does it cost to get a cat neutered in Ho Chi Minh and can anyone recommend a good vet that speaks English...even basic is fine, but competency is most important. Many thanks!

I don't want to get him fixed but I've done my research and it's better for his health and longevity of life. Having this procedure now will reduce his chances of having to suffer illnesses and other surgeries later...including testicular cancer! Read More

Coconuts and coconut oil by Claire_
Hi, just wondering if there is anywhere that sells good, pure coconut oil, if not, mature brown coconuts I can make oil form? Many thanks.

Oh yeh, coconut oil has lots of good uses. It's great for the skin and hair (massage in). Good for putting on food and cooking with. It has great health benefits, better than olive oil and it's delicious! :-) Hmm, maybe Benh Thanh Market, I'll keep ... Read More
