This Sunday, April 24, the City of El Paso Animal Services and community partners will be offering free pet vaccinations and microchips to hundreds of pets via a drive-thru pet wellness clinic, sponsored by Petco Love Foundation.

 

The clinic will be from 8 a.m. to noon at 301 George Perry Blvd. The drive-thru clinic aims at making it easier for owners to keep their pets, and themselves, healthy and safe.

 

The event is first-come, first-served, and limited to the first 700 pets. Pets must remain in the vehicle; all dogs must be on a leash and cats must be placed in a secure carrier while visiting the drive-thru clinic.

 

Dogs will receive a parvo/distemper vaccination, while cats will receive a feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, and panleukopenia (FVRCP) vaccination, both will also be given a microchip. Pets must be six weeks old or older to receive vaccines. No other pet vaccinations will be available at this drive-thru event.

 

This is a continued collaborative effort aimed at keeping community pets healthy and safe. So far this year, El Paso Animal Services has served over 2,700 pets during these free pet wellness events. To view upcoming events, visit www.ElPasoAnimalServices.org.
