spcaLA LOW COST VACCINE & MICROCHIP CLINIC
Los Angeles -- Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Los Angeles ( spcaLA ) will hold a Low Cost Vaccine & Microchip Clinic on Saturday, February 28, 2009 from 10am to 2pm at the South Bay Pet Adoption Center (12910 Yukon Ave. Hawthorne, CA) to ensure Southern California families put their best paw forward to keep pets healthy and secure.
"By hosting low cost vaccine and microchipping clinics, spcaLA is offering a helping hand to pet owners during these difficult economic times," said spcaLA President, Madeline Bernstein. "It's important to keep your pets current on vaccinations and to have them microchipped. Preventing common illnesses can potentially save you hundreds of dollars in costly veterinary treatments."
Should the unthinkable happen and your pet goes missing, having a microchip will allow for a quicker reunion, which will save you and local shelters housing and boarding fees. In addition, getting your dog vaccinated for rabies at the clinic will fulfill your obligation under state law.
Each procedure includes a complimentary Ask the Vet session with Dr. Karen "Doc" Halligan, DVM, author of What Every Pet Owner Should Know , and judge on Animal Planet's hit show "Groomer Has It."
The clinic will offer rabies vaccinations and microchipping for cats and dogs; DHPP and Bordatella vaccinations for dogs; and FVRCP and Leukemia vaccinations for cats. The fee for microchips at the clinic is $25 for cats and dogs. Rabies vaccinations are $5 for cats and dogs. DHPP, FVRCP and Leukemia vaccinations are $15 and Bordatella vaccinations are $10.
The City of Hawthorne Animal Care Services will be on hand to administer pet licenses for pet owners in the community.
