Palmetto Animal League and the Jasper County Sheriff’s Office are teaming up to provide a free Pet Vaccination Clinic on Saturday, March 23, providing core vaccines for cats and dogs.
“Cats and dogs are eligible to receive their basic yearly boosters, which protect them against common diseases,” says PAL President Amy Campanini. “It’s just as important for pets to get their annual vaccinations as it is for people.”
PAL is offering free 1-year rabies and DHPP dog vaccinations and free 1-year rabies and FVRCP cat vaccinations Saturday, March 23 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Jasper County Sheriff’s Office Main Office, located at 12008 North Jacob Smart Blvd. in Ridgeland.
“Offering a vaccination clinic on Saturday helps those who find it hard to take time off work,” Campanini explained in a news release. “PAL is thankful to be able to provide this opportunity to the public as the free vaccines are made possible through a generous grant from Petco Love.”
The vaccination clinic will take place rain or shine. Cats must be in a carrier and dogs must be leashed.
Free pet vaccinations will be administered on a first come, first served basis for 3 hours or until all allotted vaccines provided by the grant have been given.
“At PAL, we see access to high quality, affordable veterinary care as a vital part of our lifesaving mission,” Campanini said. “Accessible, preventative care helps keep pets in a loving home for their lifetime, decreasing the number of animals surrendered to shelters.”
This Vaccination Clinic provides limited services, and PAL is unable to provide exams, treat, or diagnose your pet at the event. For complete care or if you have a sick pet, call 843-645-1727 to schedule an appointment at the PAL Veterinary Clinic.
The Palmetto Animal League Veterinary Clinic is an accessible resource for every pet and every family, offering wellness exams, vaccines, microchipping, and much more at affordable prices.
