Dogs and cats can get free vaccines and an exam at this limited-time Sacramento pet clinic
A free pet clinic is coming to Sacramento — and both dogs and cats are welcome.
Sacramento County’s Bradshaw Animal Shelter and the city of Sacramento’s Front Street Animal Shelter are teaming up for a single day of free services, including vaccinations, wellness exams and more, according to the county’s website. The event will be hosted at the Pannell Community Center on Sunday, April 23, near the community of Parkway Estates.
The county warned pet owners in an April Instagram post that the walk-up clinic, open to city and county residents only, will be very busy and animals will be serviced on a first-come, first-served basis. To avoid crowds, don’t show up as soon as the clinic opens.
“Consider staggering your arrival and coming at 10am, 10:30am, or 11am to actually wait in a shorter line!” Bradshaw Animal Shelter wrote on its social media pages.
