Important info
- Please bring any previous vaccination records with you. When you arrive, park in any of the available parking spaces. Ensure your pets are safe in your vehicle and have appropriate ventilation.
- Proceed to the “Check-In Line Starts Here” banner. Check-in starts at 9 a.m. Please line up in an orderly manner and be respectful of fellow attendees.
- Once you are checked in by HSHV staff/volunteers and added to our virtual waitlist, you’ll return to your car to complete the required vaccination forms (one form per pet). Our veterinary staff will review all documentation to ensure your pet is receiving the appropriate vaccination(s).
- To prevent crowding and animal stress, please stay in your car (or in the designated waiting area if on foot) until it is your turn. You’re welcome to visit the community program tables and free pet supplies.
- When it is your turn for vaccinations, you will be notified by text message or email, depending on the information you provided at check-in. Remain in your vehicle and proceed to the Friends for Life logo banner on the north side of the parking lot to drive up to the vaccination site.
- To allow us to help as many dogs and cats as safely and stress-free as possible, please do not approach the vaccination site until it is your turn, and follow all instructions provided by staff and volunteers. Vaccines will be administered outside under covered awnings or inside in a secure room (per the discretion of our staff).
Please bring any proof of previous vaccination. If you’re an HSHV clinic client, please call 734-662-4365 the week before to receive up-to-date vaccine records via email.All dogs must be on a non-retractable leash, and all cats must be in a carrier.

Vaccines and microchips will be first-come, first-served, and while supplies last. Check-in starts at 9 a.m.. Vaccinations will go in client order as indicated by the waitlist and will start at approximately 9:30 a.m.
The waitlist cut-off time is determined by vaccine availability and capacity. Please be prepared to spend 3 or more hours at the clinic site, as we are unable to predict wait times. At previous clinics, wait times were two hours or more.
Vaccination clinics can be difficult for animals who are nervous, anxious, or aggressive in new or high-activity environments, or who don’t like to be around other pets or people.
If your dog or cat is not able to be handled safely, or your dog or cat is not treatable or is sick, pregnant, or has other health issues, services (including vaccinations and nail trims) are not able to be provided.
Additionally, you may be asked to schedule an outpatient appointment during our regular business hours so that we can better service your pet. If your pet has previously had an adverse effect in response to vaccination, please call our clinic for an appointment.
This clinic, by law, does not meet the criteria for a “veterinary exam" and does not count as one. If your pet needs a full exam, but there are financial issues that make this challenging, please talk to a team member about ways we can help make things work for you and your pet.
Vaccine FAQs
