The City of El Paso Animal Services Department, in collaboration with the El Paso County Animal Welfare Department and sponsor Petco Love, is thrilled to unleash their first drive-thru pet wellness clinic of the year from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. on Sunday, April 21, at 1300 Joe Battle Blvd.

This marks the Department’s first FREE vaccine and microchip clinic of the year, aligning with ongoing efforts to promote pet health and safety in our community.

The event operates on a first-come, first-served basis and is limited to the first 500 pets. Participants are reminded to keep their pets inside their vehicles throughout the drive-thru clinic. Dogs must be securely leashed, and cats should be placed in a suitable carrier.

At the clinic, all pets will be microchipped, dogs will receive a parvo/ distemper vaccination, and cats will receive a feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, and panleukopenia (FVRCP) vaccination. Pets aged six weeks or older are eligible for vaccines, and no other pet vaccinations will be available.

As temperatures rise, the risk of diseases spreading among pets also increases. Vaccinations play a crucial role, safeguarding not only individual pets but also promoting the overall health and well-being of the entire pet population. El Paso Animal Services urges the community to take advantage of this event to minimize the risk of outbreaks and ensure a healthier future for your furry companions.
