Free Pet Wellness Clinic Offers Essential Services in St. Paul

A free pet wellness clinic is set to take place in St. Paul on March 5, 2024, providing essential services such as examinations, vaccinations, and preventive care for pets. Organized by the Animal Humane Society, the clinic will be open from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at 1159 University Ave. W.

So far, 75 appointments have been made, and organizers anticipate accommodating an additional 30 to 40 walk-in clients. The clinic aims to support pet health and promote the bond between pets and their owners, highlighting the importance of accessible care for all.

“These clinics are critical to keeping pets healthy and with the people who love them,” stated a representative from the Animal Humane Society. “AHS knows when pets do better, people do better, and everyone deserves the love of a pet regardless of their income.”

Monthly Clinics Reach Diverse Communities

The Animal Humane Society conducts wellness clinics each month across various counties in the Metro area. Last month, the clinic was hosted in Hastings, located in Dakota County. This outreach effort is part of a broader initiative to ensure that pet owners in different regions have access to necessary veterinary services without financial barriers.

Services offered at the clinic include vaccinations, examinations, and preventive treatments for fleas, ticks, and heartworm. By providing these essential services at no cost, the Animal Humane Society aims to mitigate the financial strain on pet owners while promoting responsible pet ownership.

In addition to the immediate health benefits for pets, the clinics foster a sense of community among pet owners. The organization encourages individuals who may be struggling economically to take advantage of these services, reinforcing their commitment to animal welfare.

For those interested in attending the clinic, more information can be found at the Animal Humane Society’s website, including details about future clinics and available services. This initiative not only addresses the health needs of pets but also underlines the vital role that pets play in the lives of their owners, affirming that love for animals transcends financial circumstances.
