El Paso Animal Services to host drive-thru clinic this Sunday
EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — The City of El Paso’s Animal Services Department will be holding a drive-thru pet wellness clinic on Sunday, April 21.
The City says the drive-thru clinic will be from 8 a.m. through 10 a.m. at the SISD Student Activities Complex located at 1300 Joe Battle Blvd on Sunday, April 21.
The clinic will be offering free vaccines and microchips and will operate on a first-come, first-served basis to the first 500 pets.
The City says aside from microchips, dogs will receive a parvo/ distemper vaccination, and cats will receive a feline viral rhinotracheitis, calicivirus, and panleukopenia (FVRCP) vaccination.
The City says pets aged six weeks or older are eligible for the vaccines and no other pet vaccinations will be available.
Attendees are reminded to keep their pets inside their vehicles through the drive-thru clinic. Dogs must be securely leashed, and cats should be placed in a suitable carrier.
“As temperatures rise, the risk of diseases spreading among pets also increases. Vaccinations play a crucial role, in 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,” the City said.
