VCA Animal Hospital Promotions

Our Shelter has a very close partnership with the VCA Animal Hospitals and we LOVE that they help our Shelter, as well as many other shelters nationally. We wanted to let our supporters know about the great promotions they are running.

Preventive Care Clinic:  Receive 50% OFF all prescribed vaccines when you purchase a health exam. Having your pet examined at a VCA Preventive Care Clinic is a smart idea. It is where your pet will receive four vital types of preventive care:

1. Vaccines. They are the best way to prevent life-threatening infectious diseases and to prevent pain and suffering.
2. Nutrition. Even just an extra pound or two can shorten your pet’s life. Find out how to make smart nutritional choices that help prevent obesity.
3. Dental care. Bad breath is only the beginning. Dental disease can lead to kidney, liver, and heart problems, as well as bone and tooth loss.
4. Parasite Prevention. Heartworm in cats and dogs can be fatal. There are many other serious diseases transmitted by parasites—year round. Learn how to fight back!

WOOF, WOOF, WOOF!

Not only does the VCA Animal Hospitals help OUR Shelter and pets, but they have also helped create a foundation to help other shelters that are affected by disasters.

If you wanna'  WOOF your support AND help shelters in need, order a WOOF hat!

The money raised through selling these hats goes towards a foundation awarding grants to shelters affected by disasters.
