Prices at LCVCs only available that day. Additionally, unless a pet has had a full exam with us within the last year, services and heartworm prevention are only available at LCVC – see registration for more details. Flea and tick medications at LCVCs are over-the-counter and can be purchased anytime. Any boosters needed can be done at a future LCVC (at LCVC prices), or at our full-service veterinary clinic (at regular prices).
Prices are not valid with any other discounts.
Please note
Our Low Cost Vaccination Clinics may not be the best environment for animals who are nervous/anxious in new or high-activity environments or don’t like to be around other pets or people. Please be advised that if your animal is not treatable/handleable at this event, services may not be able to be provided. You may be asked to schedule an outpatient appointment during our regular business hours so that we can better service your pet. Also, though our Low Cost Vaccination Clinics are appropriate for most dogs and cats, if your pet has previously had an adverse effect in response to vaccination, please call our clinic for an appointment.
State laws require, in normal circumstances, that a veterinarian physically perform an exam of an animal before providing any medical service, including providing vaccinations or writing prescriptions. However, in certain situations, in particular at low-cost vaccination clinics (LCVC), these strict requirements are relaxed, allowing us to provide both vaccinations and certain prescriptions (for example, for heartworm treatment) without an exam.
This is important to understand, as an LCVC visit does not, by law, meet the criteria for a “veterinary exam" and does not count as one. While, on the day of the LCVC we can provide vaccinations or prescriptions for certain medications, this is only possible during the LCVC event itself, and these services cannot be provided except during your LCVC appointment.
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. An exam gives us maximum flexibility to provide any care, service, vaccinations, or medications your pet needs.
Free Vaccine Clinic
