Saturday, October 8 from 10am-Noon, Friends of the Animals will hold a low-cost vaccination/microchip clinic for all area residents.
It will be held at the Friends' clinic in the southeast corner of highways 198 and 334 in Gun Barrel City in the red brick office strip just behind and east of the Huddle House. No appointment is necessary.
DOGS MUST BE ON A LEASH - CATS MUST BE IN CARRIERS.
A rabies shot will cost $12, the parvo, distemper, etc shot for dogs or the equivalent for cats will cost $17. The feline leukemia vaccination will be available as well at a cost of $12. There is a refundable surcharge on each service for those animals not spayed/neutered.
This clinic will also offer microchipping to cats or dogs. A tiny chip is inserted into the scruff of the pet, which can be read by a scanner available at shelters everywhere. Your lost pet comes home! Cost for this is $22, which includes the permanent national registration.
Also available for sale at any time is Activyl, the monthly flea and tick prevention. Flea season never goes away in Texas! Don't be fooled by products that are cheap - the reason they are cheap is that they do not work!
Friends of the Animals Low-Cost Spay/Neuter Clinic has been open since July 2002 and has neutered over 36,000 animals in that time, saving and preventing literally millions of little lives. Surgery is done by appointment only.
Surgery prices range from $30 for a male cat to $80 for a large breed female dog.
If you have questions about the vaccination clinic, please call 903-887-PETS.
Tax-deductible donations for this non-profit charity may be sent to P.O. Box 5455, Gun Barrel City 75147.
