Prices at these clinics are the same for everyone regardless of income, and these services are available only at the monthly shot clinics.

Euthanasia services are offered to the general public to prevent unnecessary suffering.

CAN I BRING MY PROOF OF LOW INCOME WHEN I COME TO PICK UP MY PET?

No. Proof of low income status must be provided at check in or services will not be rendered. We regret this requirement, but occasionally, dishonest people make this policy necessary.

IS THERE A DISCOUNT FOR SENIOR CITIZENS?

A city license will be issued free to senior citizens 65 years of age or older provided their pet has been sterilized, vaccinated for rabies and microchipped.
